So, what else have we been up to since September's newsletter? In addition to attending the Parnelli Awards in Las Vegas, we were also able to spend a good deal of time combing the show floor at LDI, while meeting with several manufacturers to discuss their latest and greatest technologies, so watch for some big additions to our rental and production inventory... COMING SOON!
Since September's newsletter, we've been hard at work in preparation for the 2015 Los Angeles Auto Show, the 2015 Miami International Auto Show, and the 2015 Central Florida International Auto Show! We've completed another year at the Orange County International Auto Show, and we currently have boots on the ground in Las Vegas for our work at AAPEX 2015 and the 2015 SEMA Show!
We are also proud to have been part of the Lenawee Community Foundation's Breast Cancer Awareness Fund Party, where we provided gear and installation for a great night and a great cause! Check out a few images below!


We're also proud to have been a part of the Communication, Media & Theatre Arts Department at Eastern Michigan University's Suspense & Spirits fundraiser, which took place on Saturday October 10th, 2015. The event included a strolling dinner, entertainment, fundraising activities, dancing, and live music provided by Accidentally Hip. Proceeds from the evening will be used to enhance and improve technology for the Entertainment Design & Technology and the Electronic Media & Film Studies programs at EMU. Once again, TLS Productions, Inc. worked side by side with ED&T at EMU providing expertise and equipment to help EMU students make the evening a visually exciting event. Many thanks to Sara Kadish for the GREAT images of the event below!




Last, but not least, featured during the Suspense & Spirits event was an EMU produced video on the topic of technology playing a key role in Eastern Michigan University's Department of Communication, Media & Theatre Arts. Learn about its impact on students' education and the need for continual upgrades. Check out the video below featuring EMU staff, graduates, and TLS Productions, Inc.!
