some of THE rare team

COVID-19 update June 2020
We are adapting to serve our clients in unique and powerful ways.

Some examples include the transition from in-person production to remote recording and interactive broadcast models (livestreams and virtual events), as well as high end production using exclusive stock footage libraries and a remote creative team of animators, shooters, and editors. For clients and businesses in need of media but experiencing financial restrictions, we are offering deferred and adjusted production budgets.
Overall, we are more capable than ever, and look forward to supporting you.

We're in this together.
- Akira and Renee, co-founders, Rare Media
