R3809 Rosco Roscoscrim (Silver/Black)

Dual-Purpose Reflective Scrim for Light Control and Special Effects

The Rosco R3809 Roscoscrim is a versatile, silver/black open-weave mesh material designed for creative lighting and scenic applications in film, photography, and theatre. With a reflective silver side and a light-absorbing black reverse, Roscoscrim can be used to bounce, shape, or block light, as well as to create reveal effects, depth illusions, and atmospheric layering on stage and screen.
