About MAS Studios
We’re not here to follow trends. We’re here to set the stage—literally.
MAS Studios is a 6,000-square-foot creative compound in the heart of Calgary’s Mount Royal–East Village district—a vibrant collision zone of culture, art, and constant inspiration. It’s the kind of neighborhood where artists, brands, and filmmakers all somehow end up. Which makes sense, because so do we.
Inside mas
Our Story
Founded by Eluvier Acosta and Juan Castillo—two people who met, shook hands, and launched a business faster than most people make brunch plans—MAS quickly evolved from a rental studio into a city-shaping creative force.
Creative Playground
We’re a full-service production company, a professional photo and video studio, and a creative playground where good ideas get the space (and gear) to become iconic. Our clients range from global fashion labels to independent artists, and our space adapts to whatever vision walks through the doors.

Who We Work With
Our clients come to us because they’re done with average. They want cinematic visuals, agile crews, and a studio that can flex between high-end polish and creative mayhem.
Not Just a Space—A Signal
Our clients come to us because they’re done with average. They want cinematic visuals, agile crews, and a studio that can flex between high-end polish and creative mayhem.
We built MAS to be the space we wish existed: fast-moving, ego-free, collaborative, and unreasonably good-looking in golden hour.
With a small core team and a talent pool of 50+ artists, we operate like an agency when we need to—but we keep the indie spirit loud and alive.

Also: we were named to Avenue Calgary’s Top 40 Under 40 for turning this space into something more than a business. We made it a beacon.

MAS Studios isn’t just a building. It’s a creative HQ in Calgary’s most electric neighborhood, with restaurants, parking, transit, and post-shoot drinks all within arm’s reach. It’s easy to get here, and harder to forget once you do.

YOU BRING THE VISION, WE'LL BRING THE FIRE
OUR VALUES
We don’t just rent gear. We believe in the creative process, the people brave enough to chase ideas, and the power of community to push everyone further.
Space to Evolve
Our studio is a space for experimentation, growth, and career-defining moments—for photographers, filmmakers, artists, and dreamers.
Professionalism, But Make It Human
We meet deadlines. We handle big productions. But we also keep it real, flexible, and fun. Work doesn’t have to feel like work.
Creativity with Teeth
We champion bold work that makes people feel something. Safe is boring. Weird is good.
Community is Currency
We invest in our creative ecosystem because we’re stronger as a collective. If we grow, Calgary grows. Everyone wins.
Collaboration Over Ego
The best work happens when artists, clients, and crew respect each other and build together. No divas. No gatekeeping.
OUR MISSION
We exist to make bold ideas happen—and to make sure the people behind them get the credit, the crew, and the damn lighting they need.
OUR VISION
To redefine what a studio can be, not just four walls and gear, but a creative engine that powers an entire city’s visual culture.
We want to make Calgary a place where top-tier productions are born, not outsourced. And MAS Studios will be at the center of that—elevating creators, empowering brands, and making sure the next generation of artists doesn’t have to leave their city to make something iconic.
