DC // BUILD A SET CIRCULAR PROGRAM

// Reuse · Repurpose · Sustain

Build green.
Build smart.
Build with what's
already been built.

Most film sets end up in landfill. Ours don't. DC runs a closed-loop set program — every piece you rent or buy has a previous life, every set we build is tracked, and every wrap can become someone else's first day.

// What's inside

Five doors. One philosophy.

01 / SPACE

Space to build your set

Bring your blueprint. We've got the bay, the dock, the tools, and the height. Day rates by the day or by the week.

Open the bay →

FEATURED 02 / PIECES

Set pieces

Hundreds of walls, doors, fixtures, furniture and dec — every one with a story. Rent by the day, buy outright, or build something brand new.

03 / CONSTRUCTION

Set construction

From plans, sketches, or vibes. Our crew builds to your script — and quotes a green budget that maxes out reused materials before lifting a saw.

04 / INSTALLATIONS

Installations

Pop-ups, retail activations, photo studios, immersive experiences. Same crew that builds the films — different audience, same standard.

SUSTAIN 05 / REPURPOSE

Repurpose your set.
Hit your sustainability goals.

Wrapping a production? Don't dumpster it. Loop it back to us — we'll arrange pickup, catalog every piece, and hand you a sustainability report quantified in kilograms.

// The Cycle

A set's life, on loop.

Every piece in our catalog has been on this loop at least once. Many are on their fifth or sixth.

01

Production wraps

Set is finished. Most companies trash it here.

02

DC intake

We pick it up. Inventory it. Photograph it. Tag it.

03

Catalog

Available to rent or buy. Provenance attached.

04

Next production

Rents it. Shoots with it. Wraps. Returns.

CLOSED LOOP. ZERO WASTE.

// Why this way

The greenest set piece
is the one that's already built.

The film industry generates more landfill per dollar than almost any other creative sector. A single feature can throw out 100 tonnes of lumber, paint, foam, and fixtures — most of it built once, used for two weeks, demolished.

DC was built around the opposite premise. Every piece that comes through our doors goes back out. Every job we quote starts with what's already on the shelf before anyone reaches for new wood.

The math of the trade is simple — reuse beats recycle, recycle beats landfill, new is the last resort. We make it the operating principle, not the marketing copy.

If you want a sustainability line in your production report, we'll write you one — quantified in kilograms, not vibes. Every piece has a ledger. Every job has a green budget.

// Recent productions
