Co-founder, Lucas Tomoana
Hi, I’m Lucas Tomoana, a Camera Operator working on feature films, TV shows, and commercials. With 18 years in the industry, I’ve experienced both the highs of success and the challenges of finding my way. I’m also the co-founder of Film Tips Pro.
When I first graduated from film school, I stumbled through the industry, making mistakes and often feeling lost about which direction to take. I learned many lessons the hard way and frequently found myself asking, “Why wasn’t I taught this?” Eventually, I realized it was up to me and my peers to share those lessons.
That’s why I started this company—to help the next generation of filmmakers and, in a way, to guide my younger self.
Thank you for visiting, and keep checking back as we continue to create new courses to support your journey. If you would like to know more about me, feel free to check out my website below.
