"We needed gear for a last minute shoot in Boston. Arriving from L.A. after the close of business, Film Star Rentals was there with everything I needed and more. The price was right, but more importantly, the gear was top end. We were in town to interview the survivors of a tragedy. These men had just lost their friends to the Bearing Sea, the shoot was very intense, full of emotion, the gear had to work. The shoot went flawlessly. I couldn't have been more pleased. The pressure was on and Film Star Rentals delivered."

"I have always been more than satisfied with the equipment from FSR, since all of the gear is so new. But it is the level of personal attention that the staff, especially Billy, give to me and my crew that sets FSR above the competitors in the Boston area. I am looking forward to the day they open up shop in New York."

"My boutique film production company, A.S. Films International LLC, is based on Cape Cod.
We couldn't have gotten the pro-look we got on our shoot without the help of Film Star Rentals. Film Star gave us access industry-level production tools at a rental price unbeatable in the Boston-area market.
From pro-level dolly action, to the finest prime lenses, pro-lights and sound-gear, Film Star had everything in stock, packed and ready for easy transport and set-up"
"They're go-to whether you're shooting digital, HD, or on film stock.
Film Star's service team is also hugely helpful. They know camera gear inside and out and they're eager to share knowledge rather than guard it as is so often the industry standard.
When you're pulling off a major shoot at a realistic cost, there's a feeling that the guys at Film Star get it and are not just ready, but are excited to work with you."

"While developing a Practicum project with a graduating class at Center for Digital Imaging Arts (CDIA) at Boston University, we had the good fortune of hearing about Film Star Rental in South Boston. After meeting the compnay principals sBilly Mead and Andrew Swaine at a Career Services Networking Night event at CDIA last July, it was evident that Film Star Rental welcomed partnering with working professionals and students enrolled in local film and television programs."
"When I asked if a demonstration of the Letus lens-adapter system could be arranged, Billy quickly ensured that our students got a first-hand, real-world demonstration and students and staff were so thrilled and impressed! When one of last Summer's graduating classes began their Practicum phase, I contacted Film Star Rentals to inquire about the use of a jib for the project Billy and his staff were very helpful and offered an accessible "non-profit" rate for the non-profit Practicum project. Most importantly, he took the time to personally train the crew on set-up, usage, and breakdown of the jib."
"The equipment performed perfectly, and the students were thrilled to use such excellent gear from a professional outlet. In summary Film Star Rentals provided me and the film students an excellent introduction to the real-world experience of equipment rental, equipment application and in dealing with a supportive rental house!"
