North Beach Media Inc

What North Beach Media Inc does

North Beach Media Inc is a privately held film and television production services company based in South Florida, founded by Jim Weinberg circa 1988. The company supplies local video crews, ENG/EFP personnel, production coordination, and equipment rental to producers and production companies working throughout Florida, including Miami, Ft Lauderdale, the Palm Beaches, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville. Its stated customer base spans major studios, ad agencies, network and cable channels, major league and college sports teams, and Fortune 500 corporations.

The company's service offering combines a curated network of independent freelance professionals (camera operators, lighting designers, sound mixers, art directors) with rental inventory of cameras (Sony, Canon, Panasonic, Red, Arri, Blackmagic), digital recorders, lenses, camera support (Steadicam, Dana Dolly, Easyrig), gimbals, monitors, wireless video systems, and LED lighting packages. Production trucks range from vans to 10-ton grip trucks. Integrated livestream capability has been added for broadcast, concerts, sports, and corporate communications.

The business operates on a quote-based, project-driven model with no public pricing. Customers contact North Beach Media directly by phone or email; revenue is generated from crew hire fees and equipment rental. The company has 5 listed internal employees and relies on its freelance network for delivery. The Florida film/TV production market has contracted relative to its historical third-place US ranking after the state's tax incentives were cancelled, which has shaped the company's scale and posture today.
