Happy Holidays from Cine Rent West
/
We hope you’ve all made the best of this past year. Portland's production community is the lifeblood that keeps vendors like us alive and kicking. For that, we're eternally grateful and beyond thankful for each and every one of you. January of 2021 marked our twenty-year anniversary, and even amid a global pandemic, we still managed to have a lot of fun. That’s just how we do things around here!
Hosting an epic music video shoot for Sleater-Kinney was definitely a bright spot. Featuring Portlandia’s Carrie Brownstein, they’re considered to be one of the PNW’s most iconic bands. They just released their 10th studio album, and the music video was produced by local production company, Nocturnal Uniform, which is one of the few WOC-owned in town.
In addition, Napoleon Dynamite’s Jon Heder graced our stage on a recent project with Australia’s leading employment marketplace, Seek. They offered up a healthy dose of nostalgia with a nod to the infomercial renaissance of the 90’s.
Prior to that, we got to work with AND1, who sponsors one of our favorite Blazers, Norman Powell. His proximity to the studio is what prompted the visit and we got some great shots of Norman’s new shoe line, which he helped design.
Not only did we continue our live stream partnership with our neighbors, MeyerPro, but we were also able to work on several Heart & Hustle projects for organizations like the Urban League of Portland and Skanner News.
Lastly, we’d like to send a huge thank you to all the clients, talent, and crew that came into the studio this year. Ensuring strong health and safety guidelines has been our top priority. Your willingness to help in achieving that goal has been greatly appreciated. As we look back on another great year of studio magic, we hope you all come back and make more of it next year. More importantly, we look forward to the day when we see your smiling faces (literally) once again.
Happy Holidays! See you in 2022!
Sincerely,
Chris Crever
