Light Hollywood, a Different Kind of Company

Before you ask, the answer is yes, we have Grip Trucks. It's the foundation from which this company is built upon.

But unlike many equipment rental houses, Light Hollywood is owned and operated by Tim Otholt, a working Director of Photography with over 10 years of experience. Light Hollywood is built upon Tim's philosophy that shooting a movie or commercial is hard enough, and having an experienced partner to help you where you need help is just good business for everyone.

So whether you need a DP, a grip truck, or something else entirely, we hope there is something Light Hollywood can do to help you out.

Shooting on a Red Scarlet or Red Epic at 4k is a big upgrade from shooting on a DLSR, but sometimes a 1080p workflow is all you really need.
