After discovering his passion for filmmaking at the age of 12, Roland Cañamar proceeded to dive head first into the craft. While in Jr High and High School, he creating both documentaries and narrative short films on super 8mm he was recognized by many as a prolific filmmaker with a promising future. Armed with a thirst for storytelling and the praises of his mentor and peers, he decided that film production would be his career, as well as his passion.

1983 saw his first win for Best Drama, Best in Show at the Orange County Fair Film Festival, film titled "Dreamer", Best Cinematographer in the Cal State Northridge Film Festival 1985, film titled "Seduction", Roland was on the right track. Fresh from college, Roland worked for two years as main cameraman at a Southern California television station network which broadcast worldwide.At 25, while still working at the television network (TBN) he started his first company, The Mini Mini Grip & Lighting which supplied equipment for short films, commercials and corporate videos. Soon thereafter, Roland began shooting as a cinematographer, director and producer on corporate videos, commercials and films which quickly grew his company and enabled him to form Cañamar Motion Pictures. Adapting to local trends, Cañamar Motion Pictures relocated from Santa Ana to Laguna Niguel, California to better serve the growing corporate video market that was supported by the booming business economy. This location soon evolved into a full service motion picture film production facility with lighting packages, cameras, stages and standing sets. Business continued at a steady pace and by February 2001, Silver Dream Factory was born. Silver Dream Factory is now located in Anaheim serving Indie Features and is situated within the 30 Mile Zone.

Holy hand grenades of Antioch! INSTRUCTIONS: "And the Lord spake, saying, ''First shalt thou take out the Holy Pin. Then shalt thou count to three, no more, no less. Three shall be the number thou shalt count, and the number of the counting shall be three. Four shalt thou not count, neither count thou two, excepting that thou then proceed to three. Five is right out. Once the number three, being the third number, be reached, then lobbest thou thy Holy Hand Gr***de of Antioch towards thy foe, who, being naughty in My sight, shall s***f it.'

At SDF Studios, we have always focused on understanding the needs of our creative partners in the motion picture industry. Recently, we formed a strategic alliance with a local luxury auto supplier. High-end picture cars can be particularly challenging for indie films, as the costs associated with transportation, fuel, mileage, and drivers can significantly impact a small budget. Being just 10 minutes away from the SDF Lot is truly a game-changer, helping to reduce both costs and delivery times when you find yourself in a tight spot.

*NEW BACKLOT CONSTRUCTION*
At SDF Studios, we have always been dedicated to understanding the needs of our creative partners in the motion picture industry. We are thrilled to share the latest addition to our backlot, a transformation that will inspire and elevate storytelling. Our hospital setting now boasts an exterior entrance that seamlessly merges with the set, empowering productions to capture scenes with a hospital exterior as their backdrop. This innovative change not only saves time and money by eliminating the need for additional expensive location rentals and company moves, but it also enhances the creative process. The interior has been thoughtfully modified to complement this new exterior, making it available starting the week of September 22.

In addition to the exterior of the hospital, we are excited to be in the midst of constructing a new apartment block set. This set will feature charming mini stoops and front doors that open to welcome everyone into their individual apartments. The support scaffolding presents a fantastic opportunity for rigging lights above and installing plumbing for integrated rain effects, enabling the entire backlot to embrace the beauty of rain. We look forward to the grand opening of the apartment block in late November/early December 2025, marking a significant milestone in our journey.

We’re thrilled to share that we're exploring more opportunities to create innovative shooting areas that will greatly enrich our filmmakers' experience! One of our standout projects is a detailed prison exterior featuring a striking guard tower, a rooftop railing, and removable barbed wire fences that artistically frame the prison yard. This new set will wonderfully enhance our existing Prison Cell Block, forming a captivating, immersive backdrop for storytelling. We’re optimistic that this exciting venture will be ready for you by late 2025 or early 2026! Stay tuned for more updates!
