Your question is very confusing…
I work in a production studio and we rent our space but if I (and everyone else) had trouble understanding what you are talking about (i.e. “movie related thing”) I would not want to deal with you simply to save myself the headache and give the spot to a higher paying production.
But yes you can rent a stage, camera equipment, lights, etc… (Check out Sammys Camera). I hope you have a shooting script ready and a budget because all of this stuff is expensive. My studio charges thousands for a full 12hr day. You will also need insurance for the space and the equipment.
In order to make money off of your film, you will need a distributor who will get a percentage of what that movie makes as well as a percentage of your overall budget.
Seriously, if this is a small, just-for-fun, kind of shoot, the best you can do is use it to get into bigger, better things or even submit it to netflix. Yes netflix will put your video on their site (maybe). Visit their site and check out the details.
