Zippity-Zoom Hobby Room: A Hidden Hub for Movie Magic
Local business Zippity Zoom Hobby Room has been a go-to for Saskatchewan Film productions as of late.
Located at 4623 Albert Street in Regina, just a few doors down from their sister store Zippity Zoom Toys, the Hobby Room offers a wide range of supplies for serious hobbyists, including items for special effects prosthetics, mask-making, and makeup.
At least two major productions funded by Creative Saskatchewan have turned to the Hobby Room for their film needs. Crew members from Hostile Takeover, and another local horror flick purchased special products from the store. Items like Monster Makers clay, the Zombie Ultimate Kit, and Pros-Aide (a skin-safe glue) aren’t found just anywhere!
Rob Folk, owner of the Hobby Room, says they are happy to be able to serve people in Regina, all over Saskatchewan, and beyond. When Film and TV projects happen in our province, local businesses benefit. “Every dollar helps keep the business going. There’s been a lot of positive feedback.”
