About us


Buying and selling high-end cinematic equipment internationally shouldn't have to feel like a leap of faith.

After more than three decades working across broadcast television, post-production and high-end cinematic operations in the UK, Canada and the United States, I now focus exclusively on the international brokerage of premium cinematic equipment.

bbcinematic was built around a simple principle: when significant amounts of money are changing hands, trust matters as much as the equipment itself.

My background includes senior operations and management roles within the professional cinematic camera rental sector, including SIM in Vancouver (now Keslow Camera) and Dynamic Rentals in the UK. Throughout my career, I've worked hands-on with high-value camera systems, lenses, production workflows, post-production and the teams responsible for delivering demanding productions.

That experience gives me a different perspective from a conventional equipment reseller.

I understand the equipment, how it is used, what to look for when assessing condition, and the importance of accurate information when dealing with professional Cinematic kits.

A Specialist Cinematic Brokerage

bbcinemati.com. works with:

  • Rental houses
  • Cinematographers
  • Production companies
  • Asset managers
  • Equipment owners and buyers

Equipment is sourced through established professional industry networks and is carefully assessed, QC'd and represented accurately, with documentation and service history provided wherever available.

Provenance, condition and transparency are non-negotiable.

We only take on equipment that has been properly maintained and can be confidently represented to the next owner.

International Buying & Selling

The cinematography industry is global, and so is bbcinematic.

Whether you're acquiring a specialist lens package in another country or divesting from a significant camera department, I can help manage the transaction from the initial enquiry through to delivery.

International Shipping

Secure worldwide shipping can be arranged through trusted logistics partners experienced in handling professional cinema equipment.

Shipping Insurance

For qualifying high-value shipments, appropriate transit insurance can be arranged to provide additional protection while equipment is in transit.

Escrow

For higher-value transactions, escrow can provide additional security for both buyer and seller, helping ensure that funds and equipment are handled according to agreed transaction terms.

One Transaction. One Point of Contact.

The service remains deliberately personal.

When you buy or sell through bbcinematic, you deal directly with me throughout the transaction — from the initial enquiry and negotiation, through equipment details and documentation, payment and shipping, to final delivery.

There are no call centres, no passing you between departments and no wondering who is responsible for the next step.

One transaction. One point of contact. One person responsible.

My role is to make what can often be a complicated international transaction feel straightforward, professional and secure.

Why bbcinematic?

Buying used cinema equipment is about more than finding the right price.

The equipment.
The information.
The person you're dealing with.
And the transaction itself.
