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.”

“Jay and his team have been the best support a cinematographer could ask for.  I can’t wait to work with them for the rest of my career.”
