"No matter how small or large our shoot is, Action takes the time to make sure we have what we need, when we need it. Most importantly, they make sure that we stay within our budget. They’ve supplied us with crew and gear for shoots for NBC, Warner Bros, Sci-Fi Channel, and Adidas, and always show up with the utmost professionalism and care. Action is, and will always be our first phone call for all our audio needs."

"They are always ready and eager to help me out with any kind of equipment I need to rent. They are always prepared, and the costumer service is exceptional. Since I usually work in Hollywood, it is very convenient to get any extra equipment from them, so I don’t have to drive to the Valley for it. Also, they often hook me up with a job, if I need, so thanks to Action I always work. I highly recommend this place for any sound needs for production and you will get more than ever dreamed of."

"When so many things can go wrong on set, it's a relief to know there's one thing I don't have to worry about."
Mark Poisella, Indie Director/Producer —
"Throughout our entire run,
Action Audio & Visual
has not only supplied us with top-of-the-line
equipment, but they've also hooked us up with
top-of-the-line personnel..."
Read more...
"My team and I are "indie" filmmakers in the truest
sense: we've been working on a feature film now for
over THREE YEARS, raising funds when we can, shooting
when we can, no big stars to bail us out, no
distribution deals waiting in the wings... we shoot
because we love, we shoot because we must. No one will
ever know our names; many will never know our film.
But we press on.... and Action Audio & Visual, truly, presses
on with us. Throughout our entire run,
Action Audio & Visual
has not only supplied us with top-of-the-line
equipment, but they've also hooked us up with
top-of-the-line personnel; not just experts in their
field, but ones who share the same PASSION for
filmmaking that we do. And as our funding has "waxed
and waned" during the production process, Action
has worked with us closely so that the high quality of
our sound... has always been a constant. With their
many, many options for both production AND post, there
has never been a need for us to go anywhere else for
our sound needs. And, most importantly, Action
has always shared our soul and our creed: they
shoot
because they love; they shoot because they must.
Bravo!"
Sarah Duran, Director —
"Being a first time director, I was new to crewing up and had lots of anxiety and very few contacts. Richard Mercado and his Action team understood this and not only were they patient, but they believed in my ability as a director."
Read more...
"They worked within my budget to provide the best sound crew and equipment for the job. For my second short film GIRLS NIGHT OUT, I knew exactly where to go. I will definitely work with Action Audio & Visual again when it comes time to direct my first feature film."
