My relationship with Kansas Grip and Neil goes back a decade I think and has taken a lot of different forms. For me, they have been Producers, Gaffers, Grips, Audio, G/E Rental, studio space, collaborators, and friends. And on the other end, I have been a vendor to them with aerial and specialized equipment and fabrication. We have been with crews all over the world, and the thing that sets Kansas Grip apart, besides the actual equipment and trucks and skills, is the care. There’s an attention to detail and willingness to do things well that is beyond just good business etiquette. It’s in the DNA of the Kansas Grip team.

In the Summer of 2023, I needed a G&E company in Hays and Wichita Kansas, for Amazon's "Bye Barry” documentary. Unable to adequately scout my locations, I needed a G&E company that had some depth in equipment. We came across Neil Bontrager of Kansas Grip. Neil and his crew were nice enough to travel to our locations in Hays and Wichita and ease any concerns I had with G&E equipment for a remote part of our country. Kansas Grip provided me with the lighting and grip gear to get the job done. Neils's crew was hardworking and efficient and most importantly patient with changes that arose with productions. Kansas Grip will always be our first call if we're in that region again.

Kansas Grip's team is highly knowledgeable in terms of the production scene around Wichita and even beyond. Each member of the team brings a great attitude and energy to the sets they work on & they provide quality equipment and resources to all productions we collaborate with them on.
