City Methodist Church
Unpronounceable Productions, LLC contacted RestoreWorks to provide clean-up and masonry stabilization on a crumbling church for the popular Netflix series, Sense 8.
The work had to be completed for an upcoming shoot scheduled two weeks from the initial contact.
RestoreWorks was able to meet with the production crew, provide a comprehensive proposal, and complete the work successfully within the very tight time frame. The work involved extensive shoring, clean-up, installation of netting, and stabilization of columns that supported a roof.
Critical to the filming crew was a safe, stable environment in a dilapidated church. The crew was able to film their scenes safely and successfully.
