Cinescope Films

What Cinescope Films does

Cinescope Films is a Philadelphia-based, privately held video production company (Cinescope Films, LLC) founded in 2017, operating with a team of 1-10 employees led by founders Colin Passman (Director of Photography) and Zach Weber (Operator), supported by editors Thomas Smith and Molly Farrara. The company delivers full-service video production spanning pre-production, on-set cinematography, and post-production editing, with specialization in event coverage, corporate marketing content, documentary-style storytelling, and cinematic wedding videography. Technical capabilities are anchored by professional cinema-grade equipment including Sony FX6/FX3/A7S cameras, Aputure LED lighting systems, Zoom F6 audio recorders, DJI gimbal stabilizers, and Sachtler/Dana Dolly support gear, enabling broadcast-quality output evidenced by three Regional Emmy Awards (tied to Philadelphia Flyers content) and a Gold Telly Award.

The business operates a hybrid revenue model combining project-based production services, tiered equipment rental packages (Base $300/day through Ultimate $4,500/day, all on a 10-hour day basis), and wedding videography packages with undisclosed pricing. Distribution is multi-channel: direct enterprise sales via website contact, phone, and email; phone-based inside sales for rental inquiries; the ShareGrid online marketplace for transactional equipment rentals; and content marketing through an SEO-oriented blog covering production techniques. The customer base spans enterprise sports (Philadelphia Flyers, Philadelphia Wings, Comcast Spectacor), automotive enterprise (Ciocca Chevrolet), construction/engineering (PKF Mark III), software/technology (Urable, with a documented run of nearly 40 UrStory episodes), marketing agencies (From The Future) where Cinescope operates as a white-label production crew, nonprofits (5ive Foundation), and individual wedding couples. Operating geography is the Philadelphia tristate area with documented willingness to travel beyond for destination work. The website also references an 'Inscope' sub-brand at inscope.video/pricing-plans, though details of that product line are not disclosed in available data.
