About us

Founded in late 2019. Push Record began when a sound mixer with 14+ years of commercial & documentary production experience joined forces with an innovative editor & visual effects artist.

From there it was off to the races.

Our secret weapon has been our ability to marry cutting technology and out of the box thinking with a rolodex of technicians who have decades of industry experience.

What does this mean for you?

Bulletproof Projects, Faster Turnaround Times, Cinema Quality for Cheaper.
