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.

*****COMING 2025*****

In early 2025, we will be launching the Silver Star Trailer, a two-hole talent and production unit designed to meet the needs of independent producers. This affordable and efficient trailer addresses two major challenges: the necessity for private rooms for talent and budget constraints. The Silver Star Trailer can be configured in several ways: it can serve as two private talent rooms, or as one private talent room and a classroom for minors, or as one private talent room combined with a production workspace. Conveniently, the Silver Star Trailer will be located on the SDF campus, ensuring that it is ready for use at a moment's notice.

My brush with fame?

As Filmmaker and owner & founder of SDF, I haven't forgotten how I got here and where I started. I cut my teeth on an infamous commercial. It was circa 1988 when as a young PA/grip/electric(meaning I was paid PA wages and also working as a Grip/electric) was tasked to rig a light through the second story bathroom window ledge/roof while shooting at a home in the City of Burbank, Ca. We were running out of time and I had to "Hollywood" the light on the stand while the scene was lensing, a very short scene. It was only one line, but was made famous by late-night talk shows once the commercial aired. The line: "I've fallen and I can't get up". Yes, Life Alert/Life Call commercials. It was a frenzy of gags on comic stages and TV talk shows. Summer of 1990 I was driving through Phoenix, Az on my way to San Antonio, Tx when I called in to the Danny Bonaduce's radio show about the Life Alert commercial with lots of laughs. It was a hoot.

There you have it.
