For Traveling DPs & Producers

Your NYC G&E Team Is Already Here.

Flying into New York for a shoot? We own the equipment, know the buildings, and crew the jobs — so you can focus on the creative instead of the logistics.

What We Handle

Everything Between the Plane and the First Shot

You bring the creative vision. We bring the infrastructure to execute it in New York City.

Lighting & Grip

Full G&E packages from our own fleet — HMI, LED, tungsten, C-stands, combos, overheads. No rental house middlemen.

Power & Distro

Tie-ins, generators, lunch boxes, banded — we coordinate licensed electricians, FDNY compliance, and building access.

Local Crew

Experienced NYC gaffers, grips, and electrics who know the buildings, the parking, and the union landscape.

Permit Logistics

MOME applications, COI coordination, neighbor notifications, and special location permits — Parks, MTA, DCAS.

Load-In Coordination

Freight elevator reservations, building super relationships, parking strategy — the stuff that makes or breaks your first hour.

Gear Logistics

Need to rent locally instead of flying your package? We know which houses to call and can have gear prepped before you land.

How It Works

One Call. One Package. One Line Item.

01

Tell Us the Shoot

Project type, dates, locations, crew size, lighting needs. We ask the right questions so nothing gets missed.

02

We Build the Package

Custom G&E package from our own inventory, local crew sourced and confirmed, logistics mapped — all in one proposal.

03

Show Up and Shoot

Equipment staged, crew on set, power sorted. You walk in ready to work — not scrambling at 6am.
