Recently the company, along with Quixote Studios, has begun an array of new endeavors to continue to grow and innovate.
Quixote Studios launched 18 years ago when it began as a single trailer pulled by Mikel Elliot himself. That trailer quickly turned into two and then three. Today, Quixote Studios and Smashbox Studios encompass more than 500,000 square feet of production-related space in eight locations throughout Los Angeles, a large array of location vehicles and equipment, and the number-one expendables operation in the city.
