Radford Studio Center has a replica New York City street designed to retain productions like 'Seinfeld' after the 1994 earthquake. Built by Mack Sennett in 1928, the studio has hosted classic shows and is now facing challenges due to the migration of productions outside the U.S. This concern was highlighted by President Trump's recent remarks about the film industry, stressing the need for more focus on domestic production amid increasing foreign competition.
This stage has a ton of positive juju, says Zach Sokoloff from Radford's soundstage nine, where Seinfeld taped. The studio built this backlot for Seinfeld in 1994.
Riding in a studio golf cart to the backlot, Sokoloff points out the spot where the show's famous episode "The Soup Nazi" was made, full of recognizable Seinfeld spots.
Keeping productions in the area and even in the country has become a challenge, particularly as film and TV production has increasingly moved elsewhere.
Trump's proclamation about a 100% tariff on movies made outside the U.S. came after his ambassador Jon Voight's visit to Hollywood, highlighting industry concerns.
