LIGHT Box Productions
The creative engine of the LIGHT Foundation — a professional video and audio production complex where stories are told, lessons are taught, and young people learn the craft of media by doing it.
Inside the LIGHT Box
A full-scale production studio built to bring mission-driven work to life on screen.
Behind its cinema-grade green screen sits a complete professional production environment — broadcast-quality cameras, studio lighting, acoustically treated sound, and a post-production suite capable of polished, film-quality results. It is engineered to do three things exceptionally well.
Professional Studio
A true video and audio recording studio — from the first take to the final cut, built for broadcast-quality results.
Education & Inspiration
A place to create educational materials and inspirational messaging that carry a mission farther than the printed page ever could.
Hands-On for Youth
A real working set where young people gain experience in front of and behind the camera — in one of today’s fastest-growing creative fields.
From producing original materials for the organizations we serve to welcoming their on-screen talent into our studio—and taking our cameras, creativity, and expertise wherever the work calls us—we have created an extensive and ever-growing body of educational, marketing, and fundraising work. These professional resources represent countless hours of production and a scope, quality, and value that would ordinarily require substantial agency budgets — all provided at no cost to the organizations and individuals who benefit from them.
The LIGHT Box is also home to some of the original recordings of the Scottish Rite Cinematic Reunion and the Scottish Rite Academy — the premier online video education series — productions that now reach audiences far beyond St. Louis.
This is more than a studio. It is a platform for opportunity — where a nonprofit’s story becomes a film, where a message becomes a movement, and where a young person picks up a camera for the first time and discovers what they’re capable of.
LIGHT Box Productions In Action
Our best work rarely stays behind the studio doors.
While a great deal of our work happens in-house, LIGHT Box Productions is built to go wherever the story lives. Our team packs the cameras, lights, and sound and travels — to Masonic halls and historic theaters, to conferences and community events, to rehearsal stages and quiet rooms — to capture the moment exactly as it happens. Whether we’re directing talent on our own green screen or setting up on location across the region, the mission never changes: tell the story right, and let the people in it shine.
Other Studios
Beyond the main stage, a suite of specialized spaces — each designed for a different kind of creativity, comfort, and care.
Music Therapy Studio
Where music’s healing power meets a space built to feel like a refuge.
A warm, welcoming room — intentionally unlike a clinical setting — where licensed music therapists have worked with children facing cancer and sickle cell disease. Soft lighting, comfortable seating, and instruments within reach let young people process, express, and simply be.
Podcast Studio
A dedicated, acoustically tuned home for voices worth hearing.
Always ready to record, the Podcast Studio is built for podcasts, interviews, voiceover, and audio-driven storytelling — a professional platform for our partner organizations and the youth we serve to find their voice and share it with clarity and confidence.
The LimeLIGHT Studio
Where raw potential meets real opportunity, one student at a time.
Home to one of our signature scholarship initiatives, The LimeLIGHT Studio gives at-risk high school students the chance to grow through professional voice lessons — at no cost to their families — building confidence, discipline, and the belief that every young person deserves a stage.
Music Therapy In Action
Where the healing power of music meets a camera ready to capture it.
Music has a way of reaching where words can’t. In partnership with music therapy programs, LIGHT Box Productions has helped capture and amplify that healing power — from one-on-one sessions with children facing serious illness, to young performers stepping into the spotlight for the very first time. And just as with all our work, we go where the moment is: onto the stage, into the session, and out into the community. These are the moments we exist to tell — raw, joyful, and real.
Bring Your Story Into the LIGHT
Whether you’re a nonprofit with a message to share or a young person ready to learn the craft, the doors of LIGHT Box Productions are open.
