Turnkey HD, Inc. is a hybrid equipment rental-house and production services entity and we're here to do as much or as little as your production demands.

What sets us apart from our competition?

  1. We are open 24/7. My name is Joel Newman and I created Turnkey HD. Since our toll free number is forwarded to my personal cell phone you benefit from my production experience over these last 20 years every time you dial 800.867.8846. or email me at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

  2. We service both the East and West coasts. We have been operating in Los Angeles and San Francisco for going on two years. Elton James has just been tapped to manage our West Coast operations. We recently arrived in Brooklyn and partnered up with Andrea Baglioli who manages our Tri-State ops. We are proud of our vendor-to-vendor relationships and there are two we would like to mention: Cineworks, Inc. in North Hollywood and Eastern Effects, Inc. in Brooklyn.
  3. We provide Grip, Electric, Camera & Sound equipment as well as Production supplies and what we don't own we broker visa vie our seamless vendor-to-vendor relationships. By doing so we are able to offer the latest gear at competitive rates for your entire production with one point of contact.
  4. We are comprised of a tightly knit group of free-lance professionals working in all facets of production. Our regional operations managers rely on their personal, on-set experience with technical crew including Camera Operators, ACs, Data Managers, Electricians, Grips and Sound. We are happy to make simple crew referrals as a courtesy or manage crew deals, coordination and payroll that includes workers comp for an all inclusive 20% commission.
  5. We own the only fleet of Custom Production Mega Sprinters in our industry. Every unit boasts roomy, 7' tall interiors, attractive and meticulously configured industrial shelving and racks, a silent integrated pure sine power supply, a digital workstation and ample lighting and ventilation. Our Mega Sprinters can haul up to 500amp tow plants and a ridiculous amount of gear for its size. I designed 001, our prototype 'assault' vehicle, in consultation with my two founding partners, David Barnblatt and Adam Meltzer. 001 is currently deployed in Brooklyn servicing the Tri-State area. 002 and newly fitted 003 are virtually identical to 001 and stationed in North Hollywood. You can hire one of our THD Associates to drive your Mega Sprinter and maintain your equipment package throughout or simply drive it yourself. Rent one of our Mega Sprinters or if you want one of your own we'll build you one to your specifications.
  6. We offer comprehensive production service packages including Production Supervision, Insurance Packages, Permitting, even Payroll. We also offer creative services through Pile Driver Media. If I forgot anything please let me know because we are 'Your Partner In Production'.
