JOSH RALYA

Ideology Productions - CEO
"Braincell has been an absolutely instrumental part of our team's growth and success over the past 10 years. It isn't just their selection of literally anything and everything you would ever want for your productions, it's their superior service that has stood out to me. 

Countless times we have had things pop up and with a quick call or text the Braincell team is there on set for us. We've had some of our own gear go down and they show up with replacements that are always clean, serviced and reliable. We have been able to create with a specific look and feel that otherwise wouldn't have been possible because of the arsenal of tools they have available. 

Tom, and the entire Braincell team, have been pioneers in our community, propelling creative growth for us by bringing in the best of the best cameras, lenses, support gear...it has truly been amazing to have a creative partner that operates more like a service company than an equipment company. 

Braincell is there for you, they care, and their support has been amazing. 
We are truly fortunate to have them!
