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.
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.
One Call. One Package. One Line Item.
Tell Us the Shoot
Project type, dates, locations, crew size, lighting needs. We ask the right questions so nothing gets missed.
We Build the Package
Custom G&E package from our own inventory, local crew sourced and confirmed, logistics mapped — all in one proposal.
Show Up and Shoot
Equipment staged, crew on set, power sorted. You walk in ready to work — not scrambling at 6am.
Read Before You Fly In
Everything we wish someone had told us about shooting in New York — permits, unions, power, parking, gear logistics, and more.
