BIRNS AND SAWYER INC.

Birns & Sawyer is Los Angeles' original motion picture camera rental house, founded by Jack Birns and Cliff Sawyer in 1954. The company quickly established itself as the premiere one stop shop for professional filmmakers to buy or rent their gear. In 1998, cinematographer/gaffer William Meurer acquired Birns & Sawyer and merged the legacy company with his existing lighting and grip company Gunner Lighting; making Birns & Sawyer a full solution rental house for any production. From that point on, Birns & Sawyer has committed itself to stand as a beacon for quality service and gear. After fully adopting digital filmmaking in 2011 by only carrying digital cameras, Birns & Sawyer has continued to explore the innovations of the industry by supporting new digital trends, including LED lighting solutions. Today, we exist for the filmmaker because we love films, we love making films, and we love helping others make their films a reality. We want nothing more than to be a part of your production so you can be a part of our history!
