Matthews Ships Gear to Raleigh Studios in Budapest

Matthews Studio Equipment has shipped multiple quantities of over 465 different items of grip and lighting control products to Origo/Raleigh Studios and Hollywood Rental, Budapest. The company estimated the value of the shipment to be in the high six-figure range.

“Hollywood Rentals has had a longstanding and productive relationship with Matthews Studio Equipment,” says Kelly Koskella, president of Hollywood Rentals. “Over the years, both parties have complimented each other’s business by sharing technical input. HR is one of many companies that highly respect MSE for its substantial place in the industry. We look forward to continuing our valuable association with Matthews for many years to come.”
 


Origo/Raleigh Studios, Hollywood Rentals Budapest, is opening in April. The studio boasts nine sound stages, including a super stage 45,000 square foot and 65-feet of grid. To fill the growing need for productions that have chosen to shoot in Hungary, the studio will also feature a 15-acre back lot, a full production training school, a post-production facility and a digital film laboratory. 
 

“Matthews became involved in this project over two years ago,” says Robert Kulesh, Matthews’ vice president sales and marketing. “Matthews’ products were recommended and specified because Origo is anticipating a wide range of international productions. And, Origo insisted that all equipment on their stages be the highest quality and familiar to international production technicians no matter where they came from for their Hungarian production.”
