24/7 Client Testimonials

Twentieth Century Fox Television appreciates the excellent support and service that 24/7 provides and values our long term relationship. Jim Sharp Vice President 20th Century Fox Television

We at Downey Studios use and recommend 24/7 because: Equipment selection: Over 500 units from Utility Carts to Articulating booms, they have a selection to meet most every need necessary to the studio operations. Equipment quality: Each piece of equipment goes through a thorough inspection and cleaning prior to going back into the fleet. With these very complex units, it is rare to hear of a malfunction. Safety: They have their own full time safety director to assist in training, OSHA compliance, and they emphasize “safety first” as a way of life. Delivery and pick-up: They truly are a twenty four seven company and strive to be on time or early with deliveries and on time for pick-ups. To summarize, we fully endorse 24/7 as our chosen provider for all our studio equipment needs. Sincerely, Jerry Nostadt Facility Manager Downey Studios, LLC

There are many reasons why myself and many other Transportation & Construction Coordinators continue to use 24/7 as our first choice for Studio Lift & Boom Equipment. Some of which are, • Knowledgeable, Courteous, & Professional help • Dependable Equipment • On time delivery • True 24/7 service But I think the one constant factor in our continued business with 24/7 has been the many years of friendship and professionalism Lance Sorenson has brought to all of us in the Industry. Craig Fehrman Transportation Coordinator "Dinner With The Schmucks"

My experience with 24/7 from start to finish, (from ordering to billing) has been fantastic. Thanks Again, Michael Coady “Heroes’ Transportation"

I have been working with 24/7 since the beginning and they are always my first choice.

They are all tremendously professional and do their very best to accommodate even the most last-minute order for me.

24/7 is exactly what it says it is. Always there for us. The equipment has always been in perfect condition. The Dispatchers are wonderful, very knowledgeable, helpful, courteous, friendly. Of course, the Drivers are local #399 which speaks for itself. That carries a lot of weight. Lance Sorensen is a friend. Loyalty is something you earn, 24/7 has accomplished that time and again with their professionalism, promptness and attention to detail. We will continue to use 24/7 for all our equipment needs. Richard Limbaugh Transportation Coordinator "Melrose Place"

In the motion picture and television industry, there are few companies that compete with 24/7. With the personal and professional treatment from the employees, especially Lance Sorenson, my choice to use 24/7 is an easy one. The company is dependable, and the equipment is top notch! Gary Preece Transportation Coordinator

When I hear Johnny Brown say "No Problem", I know that I'm in good hands and it's handled. Over the past 10 years, this has proven true time and time again. 24/7 Studio Equipment is my first call because of Johnny and the attention to detail he gives to his clients. My Colleagues and I agree that Johnny provides quality customer service to production with a smile. He understands that 24/7 is an extension of the production team. He makes it easy to place orders, setup accounts, he has pride in the quality equipment 24/7 provides, and also confidence in the professionalism of the drivers that deliver this equipment. I am thankful for 24/7 Studio Equipment's help in the success of our past productions and look forward to continued success in the future. Dawn Hoffman Freelance Producer

"I've know Johnny Brown for about 10 years ...there has never been a time that I couldn't get in touch with him. He has returned my equipment calls at all hours of the night...even at 4AM. Johnny has pulled through for me every time I have called. Johnny Brown is a man of his word. His punctuality, accessibility, thoroughness, and honesty are only a few of his attributes." Yianni Papadopoulos

Thank you so much for your help with the Light Towers for our annual Harvest festival. Once again we had a great opportunity to have a safe and fun alternative to the traditional Halloween of Trick or Treating. We had around 1500 people from the community in attendance. It is because of businessman like you that we are able to put this event on for the community free of charge to them. Our church grounds turned into a carnival like atmosphere with 50 game booths, pony rides, petting zoo, dunk tank, a train and much more. Our church grounds were bright and full of light because of the Light Towers from your business. The families left having had a safe and fun place to be on Halloween (by the way they left happy with lots of candy). Thank you again for your help in reaching out to our community. Sincerely, Sherrie Roberts Children's Ministry New Hope Christian Fellowship

Generally I would not be inclined to write a testimonial, knowing my thoughts would hold little merit. However realizing that it could be summarized in a single word I would be remiss not to give 24/7 a nod for all that Lance has done for me. So my one word testimonial. The reason I continue to use 24/7. LANCE. David Robling Transportation Coordinator "Flipped" "Pirates of the Caribbean"

The 24/7 name says it all. I am always impressed with the prompt response to my calls. To enjoy after business hours access, brings a peace of mind that is priceless. I am pleased to offer a enthusiastic endorsement. Tom Gordon Transportation Coordinator "Glee"

I use 24/7 for all my equipment needs and always will. After 20 some years in this business I know a keeper when I find one and Lance is just that!! He could open a hamburger stand in between mcdonalds and burger king and do well because he works hard and is honest thanks. Brian Markey Construction Coordinator

It's not about the equipment, although 24/7 has the best in the business. It's about the people. For me, it's always been about people. After 20 years in the film business, I can say without the slightest hesitation, that Lance Sorenson is among the kindest, most honest, and most caring people I have met. And the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. The entire 24/7 team consists of professional and courteous problem-solvers. I have yet to have anything close to a negative experience dealing with this terrific company. The first two things I do when I take a show? Sign my deal memo, and then call Lance. Derek Raser Transportation Coordinator

I met Lance while he was representing other service companies. He has used his experience and knowledge to build his own business, “24/7”, and true to its name, it’s exactly what it means. Lance provides outstanding service and top of the line equipment. I can recall one Sunday morning I phoned Lance while he was at church. He excused himself, took my call and tended to my needs within two hours. Thank you Lance for being so accommodating. You’ll always be my #1 provider! Wayne Williams Transportation Coordinator

24-7 is a great company. Out of all the suppliers I use in Los Angeles there are a few that stand out above all the rest, 24-7 is one of them, and the reasons are clear. Lance Sorenson has passion, commitment, professionalism, and honesty, these qualities define this company and it's employees. It is very obvious to me that a lot of time and energy has gone into making 24-7 a company Lance and his team can be proud of, and one all of us can count on. 24-7 gives the film business exactly what it requires, 100% reliability and trust, knowing that the right equipment, will be at the right place, at the right time, in good condition, for a fair price, and if it breaks fix it really fast, that all sounds simple, I guess that's because they make it look that way. To Lance and everyone at 24-7, Thank You for everything, I appreciate it very much, and I know it's not that easy. Michael Villarino Construction Coordinator

I have been using 24/7 for years with no complaints. Their service surpasses everybody else in the rental business. Lance is always available and a pleasure to do business with. Brian Walker Construction “Iron Man 2”

Forget the name of the company, Lance Sorenson has never let me down on service and price for over 20 yrs no matter where in the US I was filming. Andy Straub Transportation Coordinator "Deadwood" "Hung"

"I wouldn't even THINK of using anyone else." Barbara Hoke Production Coordinator

“I have worked with a lot of vendors in the Entertainment and Construction Industries over the years. Seldom have I experienced the professionalism of 24/7 Studio Equipment. John O’Malley has not missed a beat when it comes to servicing The Culver Studios and it’s variety of customers, both on the lot and on location.” James C. Cella President & Chief Executive Officer The Culver Studios

"Being responsible for material and equipment on a television show means guys are counting on you to have the right stuff there when they need it. Often I order something and hang up the phone with a sinking feeling that something is not going to be right. Too often that feeling is justified I have never had that feeling from 24/7 Studio Equipment nor have they ever failed to deliver." Dugald Stermer "24"

Just like the company 24/7 to live up to it's name. Our production Company was on location in Downtown LA on a weekend, the shot and lighting scheme changed and we needed 2 more GS5390 scissor lifts ASAP. We called 24/7 @1:00pm with the additions and the 2 lifts were delivered and in place within 3 hours. Lance and his team have always been there when you need help. Lloyd Moriarity Key Grip "24" "Lie to Me"

My name is Craig West and after 20 years in the business as a First Assistant Director, I have gratefully been the Production Manager on the series "24" for almost 2 years. Learning the business side I became immediately aware of how much the service and honesty of vendors makes it possible for "shows" to move quickly forward to fulfill the demands of speed and quality. 24/7 is always reliable and a pleasure to business with. Their equipment always looks new and is maintained so safety is never a factor. I was very pleased when 20th Century Fox came to the same conclusion and made 24/7 their vendor of choice. "24" knows where to go to satisfy it's lift equipment needs. Craig West UPM "24"

Just recently we had a location in downtown LA. I was in need of a fork lift, fast..... It was 6:00am, so I called the boys at 24/7 and asked if they could get a fork down here ASAP. The Fork lift arrived, we moved the planters and was done with the job by 7:30 am. Thanks to Lance, dispatch, and delivery driver. Tim James Construction Coordinator "The Office"

I'm truly thankful for 24/7's dependability. Too often last minute equipment needs arise resulting in abnormal uses of your machinery. You have come through for me every time. Thanks 24/7! John Kersey Construction Coordinator

When in L. A. I use 24/7 because of Lance. He puts his heart and soul into everything he does for me. I know that with Lance I will never have a problem we can't resolve. I thank Lance for being my friend these many years. Walter Mikowlski

I have rented equipment from many different rental houses for over 20 years, and have worked on many shows in many different states. When I am not in Los Angeles, or too far to rent from 24/7 Equipment Rentals, I am always reminded of how Lance Sorenson and his team are superior to anyone in the Equipment Rental industry. They are always reliable, on time, and their equipment is clean and always runs great. No other place I've dealt with has matched their quality of service. Bob Carlyle Construction Coordinator

24/7 Studio Equipment is simply the best. New equipment, professional employees, and unmatched in reliability. 24/7 also makes safety their #1 priority. Keep doing what you are doing and I will always call on you for all my equipment needs. Thank you for making me look good. Rick Scheil “Bones” Transportation

"I never have any doubt that 24/7 will come through with dependable equipment and service. When I tell the grip & electric departments that I use 24/7, I always get a big thumbs up. Plus, Johnny Brown and the team are ACES!" Jessica Stewart Production Supervisor

I've been blessed not only working in this crazy business, but being able to have tools in my back pocket at a moments notice like 24/7. Just two weeks ago on "The Green Hornet" we had a hot job come up and we needed to modify a small forklift. So we went down to 24/7 and went over all our options with one of Lance’s techs. He spent about 40 minutes with us and he was very informative. The lift showed up on that Monday morning and the job went great thanks to the employees at 24/7. All that happened and Lance was out of town. Thanks, Rick Harris Key Rigging Grip "The Green Hornet" "Transformers"

I use 24/7 because I trust 24/7. When they say they have a specific item available for my shoot, I don't have to worry I will get a call the night before telling me they have something 'similar'. The gear always arrives on time and leaves on time. Thank you for many successful shoots together! Tina Tholke Production Supervisor "Men of a Certain Age"

I have worked in the motion picture busy for 32 years and worked with Lance Sorenson for at least 30 years, saying that I have never had a problem or any trouble with 24/7 at any time. When I call for equipment on my shows, I never have to follow-up on it. I know it will be at the location on time and in great working condition. 24/7 equipment is top notch and always reliable. Their prices are fair and reasonable. Iris C. Barbarino Transportation Coordinator "Lincoln Heights"

The most important reason I call 24/7 is ... Reliability! You know it's going to be there. With some of the others.... It's stressful. 24/7 "Gets it!" Gary Edelman Transportation Coordinator

We use 24/7 Rentals because they treat us as friends. We are always "time critical" and they always come through. Their "no problem" attitude will keep us as a customer for years to come. Richard Rutherford Rutherford Design

I use 24/7 because they are just that, 24/7. We continue to use 24/7 because they service our clients needs every time with complete satisfaction. Shawn Papazian Papazian Broz. Entertainment

Great customer service. Best equipment available. You can always count on 24/7 to help get the job done right. Thank You for your help. John Pratt Transportation / Local 399

The reason I always use 24/7 simply put is DEPENDABILITY. As we all know the motion picture business is last minute, and 24/7 is always there to accommodate. John Feinblatt Transportation / Picture Cars "The Green Hornet" "Fast and the Furious"

"I first met Lance Sorenson in 1991 when he visited me on the set of the movie "Unlawful Entry". Not long after that meeting I gave Lance's company a try and it wasn't long after that I started using Lance exclusively. In the almost twenty years I've been doing business with Lance I have never once considered using a different vendor. There isn't a better vendor in "the business" that I deal with. Lance and his staff have a perfect understanding of the needs of a production company and his company fulfills those needs seamlessly. I can't imagine dealing with any other company when it comes to all that Lance and 24/7 provides. I can, without reservation, recommend Lance and 24/7. On top of everything business I am happy to say that I consider Lance to be a personal friend. Kind, ethical, honest, generous, fun to talk to, good listener are just a few of the adjectives that come to mind when I think of Lance. Lance is "The Man"! Dan Marrow Transportation Coordinator "Big Love"

"24/7 has the highest quality and well maintained support equipment serving the Motion Picture industry. Their commitment to customer service is extraordinary." Garry Elmendorf President Modern Effects Inc.

A few words come to mind when I think of Lance and 24/7…Reliable, fair, kind, honest. That's a good combination. Ronnie McGuire Transportation “Sons Of Anarchy”

Whether it's complex drop offs in the middle of the night or punctual, accurately processed paperwork, 24/7 lives up to their reputation with fast, dependable and friendly service, always. Jeff Passanante Construction Coordinator "Spiderman 4"
