🌟 We Need Your Help

Planet Ant is a nonprofit organization powered by passion, creativity, and community. We share our film equipment to help artists tell stories, but we rely on your care and honesty to keep it all working. Replacing broken or lost items is expensive, and every dollar we spend on repairs is one we can’t use for performances, classes, or keeping the lights on.

By following the checkout process and taking good care of what you borrow, you’re helping us keep this shared resource alive for everyone.
