WHO WE ARE
Twelve Years. One Camera.
I started as a production assistant. Then equipment assistant, gaffer assistant, gaffer. Then camera assistant on documentaries and commercials — absorbing everything I could about how films get made. When I opened Skypan Pictures, I had a camera, some lights, and a reputation for showing up.
Other production companies started hiring me to shoot their films. Word spread. The company grew from cinematography-only into full-service production — editing, original scoring, distribution. We own all our gear. We don't rent. Every project gets cinema cameras, professional lighting, and an in-house post team.
Twelve years later, I'm a CSC Associate cinematographer. Our documentaries have won 22+ awards. Our work streams on Prime Video, Tubi, and Apple TV. And I still approach every project the same way I did on day one — show up prepared, shoot like it matters, and never let the gear be the reason a shot fails.
