In this episode of Podcasting Buffalo, the crew takes the show on the road for the first time — recording live from the brand-new home of Expressway Buffalo Cinema Rentals. The crew sits down with Ben Mannarino and Elliot Spitzer to discuss the company’s evolution in Buffalo, NY — from the early days of Buffalo Camera to becoming a full-service cinema rental and production support powerhouse. They share their personal journeys, the growth of the local film industry, and how Expressway Buffalo has expanded into a true filmmaking pit crew — providing camera, grip, electric, trucking, and professional crew support for productions across the region. An inside look at the infrastructure powering Buffalo’s film momentum.
