The Definitive Partner for Global Brands & Media Productions

Finding the right location in Los Angeles is more than a search; it’s a critical strategic decision that sets the tone for an entire film production or brand event. Buttercup Venues was founded on this principle: to serve as the essential bridge between the world's most discerning creative clients and a portfolio of unique, character-rich spaces vetted for both cinematic potential and logistical viability.

This vision is driven by a leadership team with deep, first-hand industry experience. The firm's founder, Bruce Kramer, doesn't just see a space; he sees a set, a brand stage, and the logistical map to make it work, drawing on decades of experience running a multi-city production company and a premier artist agency. His vision is amplified by partner Marc Royce, a celebrated photographer mentored by Richard Avedon, who provides our strategic lens, ensuring every property is presented to its full potential so directors and producers can see what’s possible before they step on site. This curation is then grounded by the on-set expertise of Properties Manager Samuel Hall, whose background as a 2nd AD on major productions like Snowfall gives him an innate understanding of a project's needs and makes him the logistical anchor for every shoot and event.

Masters of Two Worlds: Production & Brand Experiences

Our expertise is purpose-built to serve two distinct but interconnected worlds:

For film, television, and commercial productions, we are a strategic resource. We provide a meticulously curated library of locations—from soundstages to gritty warehouses—but more importantly, we understand the language of production. We streamline the scouting and booking process, respecting the technical demands and fast-paced nature of the industry.

For brands and agencies, we provide the canvas for high-impact experiential marketing. Our portfolio is the go-to resource for brand activations, immersive pop-ups, and corporate events that require a unique setting to captivate an audience. We specialize in spaces that become an integral part of the brand narrative.

An Unlisted Portfolio of Character-Rich Locations

Our core value lies in the locations you won't find on mainstream platforms. We actively seek out properties with authentic character and narrative potential—from retro bowling alleys to sprawling industrial sites—that are hand-picked to unlock LA's creative possibilities. Whether you need a sophisticated art gallery for a product launch or a raw, open space for a trade show, our properties are chosen for their ability to deliver a specific, memorable atmosphere.

Your Professional Partner

Our decades of combined experience are dedicated to a single purpose: serving the specific needs of production teams, brand coordinators, and event professionals. To guarantee the integrity of our venues and provide the highest level of service, we maintain an exclusive focus on these commercial projects. We do not host weddings or personal social parties.

This focus is a strategic commitment. It means our attention, resources, and expertise are dedicated entirely to ensuring your project is a seamless success. Let us connect you with the perfect Los Angeles location to elevate your vision.
