Cine Gear Expo 2019

Another Cine Gear Expo for the books! Thank you to all who stopped by the booth and filled the room for our Society of Camera Operators Panel with Mitch Dubin, SOC, Colin Anderson, SOC and moderator Stosh Durbacz. We had a great selection of Active Members at our booth throughout the weekend talking to attendees and answering questions about their careers, techniques and the Society.

We hope you were able to snag some stickers and pens and say hello! Another huge thank you to all of our fantastic volunteers who helped support the booth and talk to attendees about the great work the SOC is doing. See you all next year at Paramount!
