Equipment Center
Although primarily for use by workshop and other program participants, Scribe provides limited access to reserve and loan out video, film, audio and auxiliary production equipment, as well as post-production equipment (dubbing and editing) to independent media artists. We require proof of familiarity with equipment before it may be used by non-workshop users.
We are not a commercial rental house and we offer reduced rates for projects intended to support community users.
