Mission Statement ~ Provide low budget independent film makers in the Seattle area with affordable access to the tools of film and video Production


I have over 25 years of film and video production experience in all manner of productions including Independent, Corporate, Advertising and Studio productions on major and minor motion pictures. I have worked in a lot of different roles, but I found my passion in lighting and this is what I do.
I have found in recent years a cadre of creative individuals that had a vision and the resources to produce their vision but when it came to having the proper tools to light the sets they were lacking and had to resort to renting from the local rental houses.
I have put together a package of professional lighting and grip equipment that will allow a small production to effectively and efficiently produce their show.
For the right people and the right script I will provide my services and gear for Food Credit and Copy. I enjoy the work.
For small commercial ventures I will rent the packages and my services for a reasonable sum that is not designed to compete with the other working professionals out there. This income will go to further build my inventory. To see a list of my gear Click the link on this page.

What I will NOT do
  • Corporate Video
  • Music Videos
  • Guerilla Productions
  • Jack Ass Type Productions
  • Hard Core Pornography
  • Or any other of the random crap you see on YouTube these days. Just good well planned narrative.

I have a Day Job and am only available to work on weekends. This is negotiable if the script is great and the producers have their act together or I get paid my full rate for gear and time and am given advance notice.

I will NOT rent out the package all or in part. I come with it. If you have your own Gaffer or DP that is fine, I can be the Best Boy or an Electrician.

If you have a production that can abide by my conditions and you actually have your shit together, contact me through the link provided.
