THE WHY?

PENIKAM (PENNY CAM)

Penikam Films, where a PENNY, in our case an idea, CAN do anything. At the start of 2020 I quit my producing job at a tv station, because I knew at the start of the pandemic if I were to die now, I would regret it all. I took a breath, and started sharpening my business and video skills. After my brother moved back to Dallas fr moved back to Dallas from NYC, we saw little demand for Indian American actors. We found it hard to be creative outside our house and limited in our opportunities, we took fate into our own hands and created PENIKAM FILMS. It gave us the ability to create our own door, and work on projects we only dreamed of. Our core team of founders

 Juan, Shrey, and Pri make this family bussiness thrive.

Priyanka Shah

Founder

Graduated University of North Texas in Media Arts. Worked on over 40 productions, in a multitude of departments. When she is not producing or shooting for Penikam Films, she is lighting on other productions. She has worked on shoots from Statefarm, Toyota, The Choosen, AtHome, and more. Though it is her experience in local films and commercials that taught her skills, she finds herself to be a problem solver, an active learner, and a people person.

Juan Garcia

Producer

Growing up in the world of social media and the internet, I never thought I would be behind the camera working on productions. PenikamFilms has been an amazing place for me to contribute my artistic skills and talents to multiple projects, and play a role in helping someone's vision come to life. Writing treatments, managing lights, and flying drones are a few of the tasks I enjoy doing on our sets.

Ultimately, it's all about the people, and the best projects to work on, are the ones were everyone is fully engaged, and gives it everything they have!
