Our Story
While working together at a small theatre company in New York City, Jane Petrov (Artistic Director/Company Member) and Roy Havrilack (Producer and Company Member) decided to experience Sundance Film Festival where they had a chance encounter with an executive from Taymor Industries, Inc. who needed a new marketing video to inspire their salesforce. So Jane and Roy pulled a team together to write, shoot and deliver a winning video, and Taymor wanted to hire them to create more. In 2006 Roy and Jane teamed up with Steven Beeson (one of Louis Licari’s top colorists) and founded SkyTown Entertainment.
The SkyTown team has enjoyed creating marketing, training, music and event videos for clients that include Anthem Healthcare, LIM College, Move This World, Tourette Syndrome Association of America NYC Chapter, Bernstein Display and Shakespeare Orange County. SkyTown is currently developing a comedy series, The Four Letter Word, and has a list of festival award-winning short films that include, January, Sitter and What Future.
SkyTown Entertainment was a pioneer in providing self-tape services for actors. Since 2009 they’ve been working with the entertainment industry’s leading agents, managers and casting directors worldwide to help their clients book roles in the latest theatrical, television, and major motion picture projects. In 2010, Jane moved out to Los Angeles to open the west coast studio. Our clients love that we are bi-coastal and our dedication and commitment to quality, service and reliability has earned us a highly respected reputation in the industry.

's Statement:
En Suite: a short film is my narrative directorial debut, and I’m honored to share it with you. Unlike a play, film offers an opportunity for one artist, a director, to share his/her singular vision directly with the viewer. Armed with an excellent script (by Lainie Ventura and ) and an extraordinarily talented team - actors (Lainie Ventura & Robert Bogue), DP (William Amenta), producers (SkyTown Entertainment) - the director can put on screen one perspective. And as the audience sees the story unfold in front of them, they are experiencing that specific point of view.
En Suite was shot with a single locked-off Camera in a day. In a case of manner supporting manner, by filming it though the bathroom, the story of a woman’s year-long journey after breast cancer surgery is reflected in the layering of her worlds - the bathroom, her inner world, the bedroom, where she and her husband intersect, and the unseen, but present, rest of the house - her life beyond.
This approach also created a sort of proscenium. Rather than a stage that has width, ours had depth, but almost like a stage play, each scene was shot as a “oner,” and uninterrupted, allowing the actors to ride each moment fully.
En Suite is a film that is small, personal, and unique in scope, but it is my hope that it rings with truth in a way that feels universal and relatable, and that the story will resonate with everyone.
