About Me

Lucas Gibbons

What started as a passion for the outdoors and a childhood dream of making movies led me to a career behind the lens.

After self-producing and filming two award-winning snowboard films, I worked my way into the professional side of the industry. Since then, I’ve spent my winters working alongside brands, production companies, and professional snowboarders on commercial projects, films, and web series.

During the summer, I trade snow for dirt, water, and rock, working on projects in the motorsports, fishing, climbing, and outdoor industries.

I specialize in operating cameras in challenging environments and remote locations. Whether I’m filming snowboarding deep in the mountains of Japan, chasing dirt bikes through the desert, or working in unpredictable conditions far from the comforts of a traditional set, I’m comfortable carrying gear, adapting quickly, and doing whatever it takes to get the shot.

Years of traveling and working around the world have made me adaptable, self-reliant, and comfortable under pressure. I enjoy challenging productions, difficult locations, and the kind of shoots where experience in the outdoors matters just as much as experience behind the camera.

2026 Projects

I spent the 2026 snowboard season filming with professional snowboarders Katie Kennedy and Stefi Luxton. We traveled to Japan, California, Utah and British Columbia to film a 3 part series called Thrice Baked. During that time I also filmed for the Natural Selection Tour, spending a week shooting for the women's Research & Development contest at the Whitewater Resort in Nelson, BC and also filming at the Natural Selection Tour finals in Revelstoke, BC.

2023 Projects

During the winter of 2023 I produced, filmed and edited my second indie snowboard film called unpaid overtime. It featured a cast of amateur snowboarders who build time around their regular lives and jobs to ride and film a backcountry snowboard film.

During the summer I helped film a mountaineering film in a remote part of the North Cascade Mountains, spending 5 days hiking, climbing and shooting a young athlete during his attempt to climb the 100 tallest peaks in Washington in a single season.

2022 marks year 1 for Factotum Cinema. I spent the winter producing, filming and editing my first full snowboard movie titled Factotum Project. Along the way I also filmed two short videos in collaboration with brands. SOLR was filmed for Pale Blue and I also filmed the promotional videos for the Niche Snowboards 22/23 lineup. 
During the summer I worked with Chums to film another short focused on fly fishing in the PNW titled Sea Run Sound. I also filmed a short indie narrative titled Take a Hike
