Because we are excited about your story, we want your film to reflect your unique, authentic personality.

Holysmokes Films Shayna

Meet Shayna Banfe, the hardworking leader of Holysmokes Films. She studied Scriptwriting, but discovered the need to tell important stories that already exist. She moved to documentary work to create films that tell about love, business, and to speak for those who don’t have a voice. Her joyous personality guides our upbeat aesthetic and sets people at ease on camera.

What I really loved about the Holysmokes style is their documentary background, and the fact that each video they produce looks original.
