Hello XXXXXXXXX,

We would welcome the opportunity to bid on the lighting and grip packages for your XXXXXXXXXX. Please allow me this opportunity to introduce ourselves, we are the lighting and grip equipment rental department of the regions first "from the ground up" feature stage complex New England Studios. We offer over-the-counter rentals, grip trucks from 1 to 10-Tons, complete feature production packages, and expendable sales.

In addition to lighting and grip equipment, we can provide you with a complete feature production vehicle package consisting of Tractors with onboard Generators, 48' Production Flex Trailers, Crawford Tow Generators, 1-Ton Stakebeds, and 1/2-Ton Pick-Ups. Given these resources, it no longer makes economic sense to truck packages in from outside New England when we can provide competitive pricing and better support locally. We can save you thousands of dollars on drivers, road accommodations, and fuel to bring a production package in from outside New England.

As you can see from the pictures attached, we not only have the production resources you need, but also the experience and local support network as well. Our principles, Chris Byers & Guy Holt, have over 50 years of combined experience in Feature, Episodic Television, and Commercial production. Chris Byers brings first hand knowledge of running large feature and episodic television productions having worked in the industry for over 30 years doing everything from stunts, lighting, to executive producing feature films (see Chris' IMDb listing at http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm0125799/ for his complete credits)

Having operated ScreenLight & Grip in the New England market for twenty years, Gaffer Guy Holt has developed the extensive contacts and support network of companies in our own and related industries to draw upon so that we can get for you what we don't have. Since equipping "Next Stop Wonderland" (a two million dollar picture noted for launching the careers of Hope Davis and Phillip Seymour Hoffman when it was picked up by Miramax at Sundance '98' and given a wide national release), ScreenLight and Grip has equipped and supported numerous feature productions including Tony and Ridley Scott's 20 million dollar production "Tell-Tale" in Providence several years ago (see Guy's IMDb listing at http://pro.imdb.com/name/nm1471247/ for his complete Gaffing credits).

Through our combined experience, we know what it takes to support feature and episodic television production. We've put together an extensive inventory of state-of-the-art production equipment, developed an extensive support network, and have built the region's premier production facility. For more details about our equipment inventory, visit our website at www.nestudios.com.

Please let me know if we can be of assistance on your upcoming project.
