What Scenic Expressions does

Scenic Expressions, operating under the parent brand The Scenic Companies, is a privately held, family-owned specialty services firm that supports film and television production across the full set lifecycle — from construction through temporary storage, trucking logistics, and final disposal or recycling. The company serves enterprise production clients including television networks, major film studios, award shows, and event/exhibition producers, with disclosed marquee engagements including the Academy Awards (Oscars), The Kelly Clarkson Show, and X-Files preview construction.

The business is organized into multiple operating divisions and sub-brands. Centerline Scenery functions as a full-service set construction shop in Los Angeles, building sets for film, television, commercials, and live-audience productions. Upstage Rentals provides platform and truss equipment rentals. Scenic Recycling handles scenery liquidation and roll-off dumpster disposal. Scenic Expressions Georgia replicates the storage and trucking capabilities in the Atlanta market. Day-to-day operations are supported by a union-affiliated workforce through IATSE Locals 80 and 399, with family members Mark and Robert Larinto as co-founders and Tyler Larinto as Executive Director of Operations.

Commercially, Scenic Expressions operates a project-based, quote-driven model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Services are sold through direct enterprise outreach and account management, primarily in Los Angeles and Atlanta — the two largest US film production hubs — with no resellers or intermediaries. Revenue is generated across professional services (set construction, trucking, disposal), recurring storage rentals, and equipment rentals. The company does not operate a proprietary digital technology platform; its competitive position is built on owned physical assets (trucking fleet, storage facilities, staging equipment), union labor access, and established relationships with high-profile production clients.
