get familiar.
read on + get to know a little about the boys of summer… rental studio.
sal librizzi
a curious, quick wit + broad knowledge generalist. he is constantly analyzing everything and forever hunting for answers to the question, “how does that work?” fortunately, that suits him just fine in the role of director + content strategist.
coming from the world of creative consulting + ad production, his desire for more direct creative work + entrepreneurial spirit led him here. whether it’s hitting the nuances of a single shot on-set or setting the broad strokes of campaign tone in a pitch, the reward of how it all comes together inspires his drive to create exciting work.
corey frank
a bit of a wunderkind, he opted for the route of self-education in taking to the lens, starting first in photography. as his thirst for adventure grew (in parallel with his love for the grateful dead), he dove into shooting motion on surf trips the world over, giving some incredible looks into the world of professional free surfing.
our resident DP + calm boy, corey is an avid practitioner of mindfulness, bringing the proper tranquilo to shooting on all of our projects, while enjoying the excitement of new people + subject matter to capture.
pat schmidt
a prodigal free surfer with a flair for craftsmanship, pat’s seen a good bit of the world and now resides at the end of it... montauk; but he still bleeds tomato juice.
ready to chase a storm around the world at the drop of a hat, he’s just as likely to be deep in a materials hunt, or connecting people + ideas as we conceptualize and produce our originals. his yes man attitude toward just about anything is deeply valued, and when inspiration strikes he’s the man to help see it through.
