A Message from Ryan McLeod

Partnerships

Cinelease Family,

2022 has been a great year of expansion for our company – not only in the U.S. with the success of our seven studio locations, but also across the border with the launch of our first two Canadian rental houses. Seeing the manifestation of our management’s ambitious vision has been nothing short of inspiring.

This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the backing of Herc Rentals, which enabled us to introduce Canada to “The Cinelease Way,” and the support of the entire team, from the highest levels of management to those keeping day to day operations running smoothly, to those who have stepped into new positions and took on new responsibilities.

Teamwork like this has always been a fundamental principle in our culture, and I felt it every day throughout my time working for Cinelease in Los Angeles, San Francisco, and every day since.

LRX’s pristine reputation and innovative minds have made a welcome addition to our team, and our combined efforts will be a game changer for filmmakers in the United States and Canada that will have greater access to LRX’s premium products as fabrication and distribution continue to increase.

Personally, it has been such a pleasure to learn from and work with so many members of our team, old and new, during this expansion and I hope to pass on the leadership skills I’ve learned through this process as we bring in new talent throughout Canada.

I personally want to thank everyone who’s been a part of Cinelease and supported the strides we’ve made this year. Each one of you has helped us rise to the occasion while maintaining our superior level of customer service. I am proud to be a part of the Cinelease team and very excited about the future of Cinelease and the possibilities our presence in Canada will bring.
