😊 What makes YOU smile at Cine Gear?

Karl Kresser always said, “Everyone’s smiling at Cine Gear.” And we think he was onto something.

Is it the people? The energy of a working studio lot? Discovering new gear and getting it in your hands? 🎥

Maybe it’s networking with fellow artists, meeting new people, or connecting with someone who inspires your creativity.

Maybe it’s another meal from a food truck with your crew. 🌮 The free swag from exhibitors. Being in California, New York, or Georgia. Or simply being surrounded by people who love making movies as much as you do.

Whatever it is, we want to know:
