We had the good fortune of connecting with the team at 4000 WEST and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Can you walk us through the thought-process of starting your business?
4000 WEST was created out of chaos to be honest. This business was a re-vamp of an old business that needed a facelift. What better way than to create a vibey, soulful, creative space for all creators than to do it in the heart of Burbank with the intention of serving others. The CEO of 4000 WEST felt that there were people who needed a home to create, they needed opportunities that may have been denied to them, and they needed somewhere that would foster creativity and birth new ideas. The goal was always to help others while also making a name for itself. 4000 WEST is proud to have the track record that they do and be a trusted outlet for the entertainment industry.

Alright, so for those in our community who might not be familiar with your business, can you tell us more?
One thing that get’s us super excited at 4000 WEST is the intention of possibility. The possibilities are endless when it comes to our space. We have had creators build out entire sets for feature films, build out music video sets, shoot TV shows, shoot interviews, have photoshoots, and more. We’ve had big name celebrities, to working creatives bring their energy to the building. During the pandemic, we had to close our doors. This set us back because of all the past due monies we owed. The most important thing that we’ve had to focus on has been to continue moving forward and keep on growing the business. We’ve learned that building relationships is the best way for the word to be passed on that you are a place for people to create. There may be individuals from time to time who don’t want to see you grow, but it’s not our business to focus on those people. We would like people to know that we at 4000 WEST want to see everyone win. There is enough room for everyone to be in a good space for themeselves.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
Welcome to Burbank!! You would absolutely need to go on the Hollywood experience. Let’s spend a day at Universal Studios and enjoy the Universal Studios Tour and all the rides! Right around the corner from our facility is a very popular cafe called “Porto’s.” Porto’s is a must go-to restaurant. Let’s check out a comedy show at Flappers. Let’s do the Hollywood Tours. Let’s go check out The Bourbon Room. Let’s go eat at Catch LA. We can’t forget a beach day at Santa Monica. Let’s spend some hours at the Pier and enjoy some rides and we can’t forget the swings on the beach! We also can’t forget all the amazing food trucks all throughout LA.

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
A major shoutout goes to the non-profit organization “Heal The Planet.” “Heal The Planet” has been instrumental in supporting 4000 WEST over the years. They are committed to improving the quality of life for our planet and all its inhabitants through education, action, and utilizing our power of choice. 4000 WEST would not be where it is if it wasn’t for this non-profit organization. You can also see the huge “Heal The Planet” mural, with an angel wing artistic piece on the side of our building. It’s a great place for photos.
