Maz Farsani
A videographer with over fifteen years behind the camera. Maz shapes how every Outset studio looks, lights, and moves, so the picture always earns its place on screen.
In 2017, Michael and Maz went looking for somewhere to record a video podcast. Nothing fit. The audio studios sounded great and fell flat the moment a camera switched on. The film and television stages were built for something far bigger. There was nothing in the middle, so they built it.
The first Outset was a 200-square-foot room in South Wimbledon. Hand-built acoustic panels, DIY shelving, and whatever kit they already owned. The plan was simple: record their own show, then hire the space out to cover the rent.
The demand grew so fast we never launched the podcast. The studio became the business.
Podcasting is still at the heart of what we do. Over time it became clear that creators needed more than a microphone and a room, so Outset grew into a full content space for live streams, branded shows, talking-head content, webinars, and broadcast production. Today that means podcast studios in London and Manchester, with a growing set of London studios alongside our Manchester home.
