DEEP VALUES
Our team is committed to supporting passion projects, encouraging young crew members, and creating space for women, LGBTQIA+, and minority filmmakers. We build community by offering free classes, discount deals, and professional connections to grow careers.
METICULOUS EQUIPMENT
Our rental and warehouse teams are paperless, digitized, and optimized to offer the easiest rental experience possible, and zero headaches. Many of our customers are repeat-renters because of our high-quality service.

We're here for you. We answer our phones 24/7. We dig up thorough answers for customer gear questions. We deliver equipment across four states. We provide top-quality crew that's as diverse as the NYC community. We open early when customers ask, and we stay late if you get stuck in traffic.
