The Night 200 Soldiers Went AWOL
Before protest was something you could see, it was something people did
Rise Up Productions operates as a union workplace under IATSE Local 15, with a long-standing commitment to fair labor and professional crews.
With decades of experience, our team supports large national gatherings and complex live events that require precision and trust.















Rise Up Productions exists to support collective action through thoughtful and reliable live event production. Production plays a real role in how people gather and what stays with them.
A world where movements have access to technical support wherever they gather. Where people can come together knowing the technical side of an event will hold steady and allow the work to speak for itself.
We provide technical support that helps organizing efforts hold together and land clearly in live settings.
Our work supports gatherings rooted in civic engagement and justice-focused movements.
We help create the conditions for people to gather in ways that support momentum and shared purpose.
We support high-visibility public events tied to social, labor, and environmental movements, providing sound, staging, lighting, coordination, and mobile amplification for rallies, festivals, marches, and large civic gatherings.
We provide production support for weddings, coming-of-age ceremonies, and cultural or religious gatherings, partnering closely to create thoughtful, well-supported spaces for meaningful moments.
We deliver full technical production for conventions and conferences, including audio, video, lighting, staging, recording, and live streaming for events across multiple rooms, days, or locations.
Images from events we have supported over the years. Different spaces, different moments, all centered on people coming together.
Let’s Build What Comes Next
No event is too big or too small. If you can dream it, we can make it happen.
