Shine Cine was born out of a desire to create better access to gear, community, and support within the filmmaking scene in Fort Worth Texas. By offering reasonable rates, filmmakers can funnel more resources into the creative decisions that elevate their films.
We’re a startup, starting small but with a 100% focus on our community and we won’t stay small for long.
We saw a gap in Fort Worth for an equipment rental house with a dedicated prep space, and we’re here to support, not compete. We aim to champion the incredible filmmakers who’ve already invested in gear and want to keep it working. Instead of duplicating inventory, we partner with local filmmakers to offer the best selection of high-end cinema gear in Fort Worth.
We are not Dallas, Austin, or even LA; this is funky town Fort Worth—let’s win together!
If you have a cinema camera package or lens set that’s not working every day and want to make money from your gear, contact us about our Consignment Partnership program.
Cameras, Lenses, Lighting & Grip Tools for the Bold Filmmaker.
While our hands are in the gear sector, our heart is in the betterment of the film industry. We believe that film is and always will be built on relationships. So, no matter a filmmaker's background or goal, being a partner of Shine Cine guarantees an experience that promotes a sense of belonging and empowers creatives to pursue their purpose. We'd love to hear from you if you have any ideas on how we can improve the rental customer experience. We are here for you

One shoot day. To give you prep and wrap time without extra fees:
Pick-up: After 3 p.m. the day before your shoot
Return: Before 10 a.m. the day after your shoot

Some scarce items think specialty lenses, techno cranes, or our Panther S-Type Dolly, may use a 4-week month or custom rates due to limited inventory and high demand. We’ll flag these on your quote.
