ReelTime Media Productions

What ReelTime Media Productions does

ReelTime Media Productions, LLC (d/b/a RTMP) is a privately held, founder-led audio-visual production company founded in 2020 and headquartered in Chicago, Illinois. It operates as a one-stop shop delivering AV equipment rentals, corporate event production, video production, audio recording and post-production, live streaming/webcasting, virtual production, photography, and legacy media conversion (analog-to-digital for cassettes, vinyl, reel-to-reel, VHS, Beta, and Hi8 formats). The company serves a horizontally diversified customer base spanning corporate organizations (its primary segment), small businesses and individuals, musicians and entertainers, and personal/consumer customers seeking media digitization. Named enterprise customers include Jupiter Aluminum (manufacturing) and First Trust (financial services).

RTMP's underlying technology stack is conventional and non-proprietary: professional AV hardware (wireless microphones, PA speakers, projectors, projection screens, cameras, LED lighting, video switchers, streaming equipment) paired with industry-standard post-production software (DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Premiere Pro, Final Cut Pro). The company offers no patents, trademarks, certifications, or proprietary software; differentiation is asserted through multi-skilled technicians who can each perform multiple production roles (camera, directing, producing, editing) rather than through technology or IP. It supports operations through dedicated Client and Staff Portals.

Commercially, RTMP runs a sales-led, quote-based GTM delivered through a website Quick Quote form, a dedicated 1-(833) 796-RTMP phone line, and on-site service dispatch. Pricing is project-based and customized, with only the analog transfer line transparently priced (starting at $9.99). Despite claiming coverage of 60+ (and in some product copy 80+) US cities, the company employs only 1–10 people, indicating a distributed contractor model rather than a traditional employed field-engineer workforce. No external funding, M&A, awards, or regulatory actions are disclosed.

Broad incumbents

• Encore Global (formerly PSAV): Largest provider of AV event production and equipment rental services for hotels, venues, and corporate meetings globally. Directly comparable to RTMP's Corporate AV & Event Production and AV Equipment Rental service lines, but at vastly greater scale and with dedicated venue partnerships RTMP lacks.
• Freeman: Full-service brand experience and event production company offering AV, staging, design, and digital services for trade shows and corporate events. Comparable to RTMP's event production and live streaming offerings, but operating at enterprise scale with dedicated in-house production infrastructure.
• PRG (Production Resource Group): World's largest provider of entertainment and event technology solutions including lighting, audio, video, and rigging for concerts, corporate events, and broadcast. Comparable to RTMP's Corporate AV and live event production services, but with global scale and proprietary production technologies.

Direct peers

• BoxCast: Live video streaming platform and service provider for events, houses of worship, sports, and schools with hardware encoders and cloud delivery. Comparable to RTMP's Live Streaming and Livestreaming/Webcasting services, with a more productized SaaS-style offering.
• Legacybox: National mail-in service specializing in digitizing VHS, film reels, audio cassettes, photos, and other legacy media formats. Direct competitor to RTMP's Analog Transfers and VHS/Beta/Hi8 to Digital Conversion services, operating at much larger scale and with national brand recognition.
• iMemories: Cloud-based service that digitizes home movies, photos, VHS tapes, film reels, and audio cassettes for consumers. Direct competitor to RTMP's analog-to-digital conversion services, operating at much greater scale with a more consumer-direct, mail-in business model.
• Lemonlight: On-demand video production company producing commercials, branded content, and corporate videos with a network of freelance crews. Directly comparable to RTMP's Video Production Services (studio/field production, commercials, corporate videos), but with a more tech-enabled marketplace model.

Others

• Sweetwater: Leading retailer of professional audio equipment, instruments, and recording gear, with in-house content production and studio build services. Adjacent ecosystem player — not a direct service competitor, but serves the same customer base of audio professionals and studios that RTMP addresses.

Emerging players

• Vimeo (Livestream): Video hosting and live streaming platform with enterprise event streaming, OTT, and production tools. Comparable to RTMP's Live Streaming and Virtual Services offerings, but as a software platform rather than a hands-on service provider.
• Squadcast (by Descript): Cloud-based remote podcast recording and production platform serving independent podcasters and studios. Comparable to RTMP's Podcast Production and Remote Podcast Production services, with a software-first approach versus RTMP's service-based model.
