Seals of Approval

  • Si Bell BSC
    Cinematographer

    I’ve worked with Focus Canning for years. The thing I love is that they are filmmakers and love the art of cinematography. It’s a collaboration when we work together and they are just as important to me as my key crew. When we start a job I always call Jamie and discuss the creative intent and logistics. Our relationship is close from prep till the end. I always know they have my back. I also know that production will love them which is a big plus for me.

    I’m happy to give Focus Canning my full stamp of approval. Good family feel to their services and you always know that you are in good hands and taken cared off. Good versatile list of lenses and equipment and if they don’t have it they will get it. Nothing is impossible in their world.

    Crazy to see how Focus Canning have grown but also unsurprising because of how amazing they are. They have always consistently helped me when I needed it and done it with a smile. Super friendly and welcoming atmosphere has made it feel like the door was always open and I really appreciate that. Thank you Focus Canning!

    The Focus Canning team are truly caring, and will always go out of their way to help find a solution. So it’s very much about people and relationships. The test rooms are also some of my fav rooms and have been set up with so much thought and consideration when testing lenses or prepping for a project

    Focus Canning has been helpful not only with core technical partnerships, (especially my production trip to St Helena Island) but also with aiding my introduction into the UK film industry network. Being assured of that reliable support is everything

    Focus Canning give such a personal and detailed service no matter the size of the shoot. They’ve always been there from when I started out, helping me learn about the latest kit, holding my hand when I was out of my depth, and then stepping up to the mark servicing bigger commercials.

    I’ve worked with the team at Focus Canning over the past 8 years and they’ve always gone out of their way to provide a great quality, reliable service as well as friendly and generous support.

    It’s been a pleasure to watch Focus Canning grow from a friendly rental house with a single Red One camera, to the thriving, quality company it is today.

  • Darren Ladbury
    Cinematographer

    I’ve known Focus Canning since their humble beginnings at Hoxton Square. They have been absolutely instrumental in my path to becoming a DOP and I’m forever grateful for their knowledge and support over the years. It makes it very easy as a DOP to know that the kit I’m receiving is always faultless and provided with those extras for that last minute change of approach. x

  • Andrew Kuchanny
    Cinematographer

    Focus Canning have become one of my first calls when prepping for a project. I am always amazed at how helpful everyone is and how going that little bit extra is never too much to ask when looking for any unusual bits you need to get the shot in the bag. I can’t thank them enough for the support they have given me and my career.

  • Matt Riley
    Cinematographer

    No matter what unusual weird set up or rig requirements I’ve thrown at the team (and at short notice!) they’ve always been able to make it happen. Always supportive and friendly, just a really great bunch of guys

  • James Medcraft
    Cinematographer

    Good networks are key to any cinematographers working practice, and having a reliable rental house is one of the most important relationships. Focus Canning have helped me in many challenging situations and have proved to be a dependable collaborator. Their support and continued innovation has enhanced the creative potential of my ideas and helped me focus on what’s important without distraction

  • Dave Tree

    So much of what we do is dependent on the gear we use. The meticulous attention to detail at Focus Canning doesn’t go unnoticed. This is kit built and selected for purpose, based on the feedback and strong relationships
