Shadowcast Pictures was originally founded in January of 2008 during the emergence of digital cinema. We took a lead in providing digital cinema cameras early on as we recognized their potential for the future of motion picture acquisition. As we continue to provide the latest and greatest digital cinema products we also strive to provide cinematographers and their assistants with industry-leading lenses and support accessories.

Testimonials
“I have been working with Shadowcast Pictures for years. They are one of the best boutique rental houses in Los Angeles. Big enough to carry anything you need and small enough to be able to give them a call and speak with someone without being put on hold. The perfect balance of intimacy mixed with top notch professionalism. In a business which is all about personal relationships, its nice to not use one of the behemoth wallmart-esque camera houses. It’s no wonder why all my camera assistants love Shadowcast as well.”
