About Us

We are a Video Production Company based in Los Angeles. Since 1996, juriFILM, Inc. provides ENG Camera Crews and German EB-Teams in Los Angeles and along the entire US West Coast. The company’s founders are of German descent, so we have been focusing on German and European clients since the beginning, while establishing the company as a German TV Company in Los Angeles and the USA. After over 20 years in the broadcast and TV service business, we have acquired many customers from all over the world. René Jung, a cameraman and camera operator in Los Angeles, serves as the CEO of juriFILM, Inc. since its beginning.

Our Los Angeles-based ENG Video Crews will travel to any location in the US, Mexico, Canada, the Caribbean or the Pacific Southwest and South America. Depending on the destination or the amount of equipment and the number of people traveling, trips abroad may require certain prior steps and arrangements like customs declarations or permitting.

juriFILM's Los Angeles headquarters are centrally located in Culver City. From here it is only a 20-25 minute drive to LAX Airport, Century City, Santa Monica, West Hollywood or Venice Beach, making it convenient for producers to reach popular filming locations or choose options for their local hotels based on their personal preferences or production logistics.
