Roland Cañamar's fascination with the art of filmmaking began to take shape at the tender age of 12, marking the onset of a lifelong journey that would be driven by his unwavering dedication to the craft. As he navigated his way through junior high and high school, his enthusiasm for filmmaking only intensified, leading him to create a diverse range of projects that showcased his burgeoning talent.
Roland's determination to pursue a career in film production was fueled by an insatiable desire to craft compelling narratives and an abundance of admiration from his mentors and peers. This unwavering passion ultimately led him to establish a successful career in the film industry.
Notably, Roland's early achievements were marked by a plethora of prestigious accolades. In 1983, his film "Dreamer" garnered recognition at the Orange County Fair Film Festival, specifically earning top honors in the Best Drama and Best in Show categories. Furthermore, his work on the film "Seduction" earned him the esteemed title of Best Cinematographer at the Cal State Northridge Film Festival in 1985.
Roland's impressive portfolio of awards and recognition served as a testament to his dedication and skill in the film production world.
Roland's post-graduation endeavors led him to a stint as a principal cameraman at a prominent Southern California television station network, whose global broadcasting reach spanned far and wide, for a period of two years. Meanwhile, at the tender age of 25, while still maintaining his employment at the television network, TBN, he took the bold step of establishing his first entrepreneurial venture, The Mini Mini Grip & Lighting, a company that specialized in providing top-notch equipment for a diverse array of projects, including short films, commercials, and corporate videos.
Following this milestone, Roland's career trajectory took a significant turn as he diversified his skill set by taking on the roles of cinematographer, director, and producer for a wide range of projects, including corporate videos, commercials, and films.
As a proactive and forward-thinking company, Cañamar Motion Pictures made the strategic decision to relocate from its original base in Santa Ana to the thriving city of Laguna Niguel, California, in order to more effectively cater to the rapidly expanding corporate video market in the region.
This pivotal move enabled Cañamar Motion Pictures to transform its new location into a comprehensive, state-of-the-art motion picture film production facility, boasting a diverse array of cutting-edge resources and equipment.
The facility now proudly offers a range of essential services and amenities, including high-quality lighting packages, advanced cameras, spacious stages, and meticulously designed standing sets.
By relocating to Laguna Niguel, Cañamar Motion Pictures has not only strengthened its competitive edge in the corporate video production industry but has also positioned itself as a go-to destination for clients seeking top-notch production services in the heart of Southern California.
