PITTSBURGH, PA BASED FILM PRODUCTION, REAL ESTATE VIDEOGRAPHY & DRONE SERVICES

HARD MONKEYS PRODUCTION COMPANY WAS CONCEIVED IN 2020 BUT WAS OFFICIALLY CREATED IN 2022

Our Passion & Services
I've been known to take on real estate photography and videography jobs to pay the bills. I'll make your property look amazing. I shoot 4k video and 4k drone footage. I'll do walk though high res photography as well. I can even make a real estate agent a star.

I was a real estate agent in a different lifetime. That's my industry "standard" agent pic to prove it... so I understand some of the wants and needs.
Occasionally, I'll take on pro-bono work to help someone or an organization out. It also helps me build a portfolio outside of documentary filmmaking. I prefer a challenge and something I believe in.

Current tools of the trade are the Sony FX3, the Sony A7rV, a DJI Mini Pro Drone (4k, D-Cinelike), and in certain situations - the GoPro Hero 11. I also use DJI Wireless lapel mics along with a Sennheiser Pro shotgun mic.

Feel free to inquire.
Tom Lonero began studying filmmaking in the early 2000's but set it aside to pursue a different career. Around 2019-2020, he started to re-study film editing, colorization and digital filmmaking since nearly everything had changed from when he had gone to school for it nearly two decades earlier. He continues to follow that passion he had once set aside for the devil.
