    --

    ARRI Rental, a provider of camera, lighting and grip equipment, has opened ARRI Rental Brooklyn Haus in Greenpoint, Brooklyn.

    Situated in the heart of Brooklyn’s studio landscape, with locations such as Broadway Stages, Steiner Studios, Silvercup Studios and Kaufman Astoria Studios in immediate proximity, Brooklyn Haus functions as a traditional camera rental facility, as well as a gathering place for production and crew, with meeting rooms, entertaining spaces and a café.

    “By opening Brooklyn Haus we not only underline our long-term commitment to support New York’s bustling production community and its members,” said Lisa Harp, president of ARRI Rental US Camera, “but also create an inviting environment for networking, exchanging ideas and listening to customers.”

    ARRI Rental in Secaucus, New Jersey remains the rental headquarters for North America, providing the full spectrum of services for camera, lighting and grip rental.

    ARRI Rental’s chief executive Martin Cayzer commented: “Brooklyn Haus epitomizes our global focus on customer experience; we are locating where our clients are shooting and need us there to support them. Having a presence in New York City will bring day-to-day efficiencies for our clients and—just as importantly—give them a sense of who we are and what we stand for by providing a home-from-home in this vibrant, creative and exciting borough. That and great coffee, of course.” 




    “Beatles ’64” Documentary Captures Intimate Moments From Landmark U.S. Visit

    Thursday, November 28, 2024

    Likely most people have seen iconic footage of the Beatles performing on "The Ed Sullivan Show." But how many have seen Paul McCartney during that same U.S. trip feeding seagulls off his hotel balcony?

    That moment — as well as George Harrison and John Lennon goofing around by exchanging their jackets — are part of the Disney+ documentary "Beatles '64," an intimate look at the English band's first trip to America that uses rare and newly restored footage. It streams Friday.

    "It's so fun to be the fly on the wall in those really intimate moments," says Margaret Bodde, who produced alongside Martin Scorsese. "It's just this incredible gift of time and technology to be able to see it now with the decades of time stripped away so that you really feel like you're there."

    "Beatles '64" leans into footage of the 14-day trip filmed by documentarians Albert and David Maysles, who left behind 11 hours of the Fab Four goofing around in New York's Plaza hotel or traveling. It was restored by Park Road Post in New Zealand.

    "It's beautiful, although it's black and white and it's not widescreen," says director David Tedeschi. "It's like it was shot yesterday and it captures the youth of the four Beatles and the fans."

    The footage is augmented by interviews with the two surviving members of the band and people whose lives were impacted, including some of the women who as teens stood outside their hotel hoping to catch a glimpse of the Beatles.

    "It was like a crazy love," fan Vickie Brenna-Costa recalls in the documentary. "I can't really understand it now. But then, it was natural."
