Chris Giammalvo began working in production in NYC way back in the 1990s. Finding his way into the art department, Chris worked in several NYC area set shops, eventually taking on roles as Art Director and Production Designer. In the early 2000’s Chris found himself in Los Angeles and decided to make the move permanent. Starting with a humble lock-up in Sun Valley, Chris G TV Inc. has grown to an 18000 sq ft space in South Los Angeles with an additional 19000 sq ft of yard space. Offering a full-service Art Department, Chris G TV Inc. provides everything from concept drawings and initial budgeting to strike and storage services as well as all the fun stuff that happens in between. Set Building, Scenery Rentals, CNC cutting and carving, Laser and Plasma cutting, Prop manufacturing, scenic services, and Decorating.

Our fabrication crew consists of carpenters, welders, plasterers, painters, and sculptors. All with the necessary tools and expertise to create anything imaginable. We also have an excellent roster of decorators, set dressers, and graphic designers. Since not every job requires the same aesthetic, we match the right talent to each project.
