You can pick up and drop off gear 24/7/365.
There is no partial rental day like the big rental houses enforce. We are open Saturdays, Sundays, holidays.
If you want to rent gear from us directly, you must first rent from us on Sharegrid for at least 3 rentals.
The largest rental you can rent through us after will be no bigger than the largest rental you've done through sharegrid.
Our studio has amazing standing sets for you to use at the lowest prices in the USA, right here in Chicagoland!
You can access our studio 24/7/365, and there is no upcharge for using the space, wardrobe/costume or props!
Membership is easy at FilmDiner: just spend money on gear rentals or studio rentals, and your membership starts!
