A space for storytellers The CVP Creator Hub supports the next gen of hybrid creatives
F or almost 40 years, CVP has been a trusted partner to the world’s most discerning filmmakers and broadcast professionals – those working with high-end systems like the Arri Alexa, Red DSMC3 or Sony Venice, where technical precision, insight and service are paramount. That legacy remains a vital part of CVP’s business. But CVP has always spoken the language of content creators – supporting them with knowledge, access and advice at every stage of their journey. Now, that relationship takes a bold step forward with the introduction of a dedicated space created specifically for them: a place to explore, get hands-on with gear and be inspired. It’s the latest addition to CVP’s growing portfolio of showrooms – and a clear signal of our commitment to today’s generation of creative storytellers. Welcome to the CVP Creator Hub – a curated, hands-on experience at Charlotte Street in London, designed with the needs of today’s fast-evolving creative community in mind. Whether you’re a documentary filmmaker with a nimble mirrorless kit, a self-shooting director building a podcast empire or a YouTuber creating engaging content, this space offers the tools, expertise and inspiration to level up your craft. At the heart of the Creator Hub is Stuart Dennis, a well-known advocate for hybrid shooters and emerging creators. With years of experience bridging the worlds of broadcast, videography and content creation, Dennis understands the need for a space that reflects the way modern creatives actually work. “If you’re just starting out with a Sony A7S III or Canon R5 C and a modest budget, walking into a showroom filled with £60K cinema rigs can feel really daunting – it’s like looking to buy your first car and walking straight into a Ferrari dealership,” says Dennis. “The Creator Hub is changing that – it’s welcoming, practical and built for people who take storytelling seriously, no matter the scale.”
