D.C. officials are trying to woo a production company to make the District its home, and they’re using a gutted television studio space at Mount Vernon Square to do it. More than a dozen film industry executives and those with connections to the industry on Wednesday toured the former home of Atlantic Video, which includes two soundstages, space for postproduction edit suites and executive offices.

At-large D.C. Councilman Vincent Orange, who helped facilitate the tour, said he hopes the property can woo filmmakers who say they can’t film in the District because it doesn’t have a soundstage.
