About Us

In 2001, Howie Zales (a camera operator), set about starting a new kind of company – one that would redefine the role of crewing - and opened HJZ Productions.

HJZ Productions is a full-service, one-stop shop for all your television production crewing needs. We are a national signatory of the IATSE Broadcast Union. Our worldwide client pool, our employees' technical expertise, and over 20 years of experience make us a leader in the crewing industry. We have all the tools you need to meet your production needs and are always on call when you need us. Our client base includes some of the most recognized names in the world: IMG, Sports Net, Dome Productions, WWE, Gravity Media, Apple TV, NHL, and MLS, to name a few. We’ve also been behind some of the world’s highest-profile events, ranging from the 2014 Super Bowl for NFL Network to the New York City Marathon. Most importantly, we are passionate about what we do and take pride in our client services.
