What customers say
CinemaWorks is amazing. There is simply no other cinema camera store or rental house like it. It has a completely different vibe and everyone who works here is helpful, patient and knowledgeable. This is one camera store that doesn’t feel like a sales room or office space.
I walked into Samy's very distraught because while making a student film, we dropped our school's very expensive camera. I was referred up to the top floor to see Larry and ask if he may be able to help. I am so so grateful to Larry Leyretana.
Danny from the rental department is the best! Extremely friendly and very accommodating!
