Chris Vinopal here, as someone that handles lenses every day, I often need a way to make sure they are clean and there is no damage. Thankfully my good buddy Kelsey Rocks Allen makes some pretty cool KRAP! Kelsey made us a Lens Docking Station, giving us a hands free way to inspect lenses with a built in light!

Kelsey loves helping filmmakers solve on-set problems with his custom 3D prints and designs. Not to mention, his designs also allow for rapid prototyping and only printing what is needed, keeping unnecessary waste and his ecological footprint at a minimum! Thanks Kelsey, we love the KRAP you made us…keep printing!

Our Employee Spotlight this month is Chris Vinopal. Since November is the month of gratitude (and Chris’ birthday month), we eagerly express thanks for our Equipment Manager. As Head of Lighthouse’s Equipment Department, Chris ensures that all of our equipment is prepared properly and running smoothly prior to each production.

Chris grew up as an avid music lover, playing multiple instruments and eventually learning the pedal steel. After seeing Pink Floyd’s Pulse, Chris was inspired by the idea of combining music and film which led him to pursue a career in the film industry.

Chris being our gear guru is not only a service to Lighthouse but also Wilmington’s film community. This year Chris and our equipment team provided and serviced the main camera package for a new Amazon show ‘The Runarounds.’ Way to go team!

A pizza fanatic, if Chris was stranded on an island a classic cheese from would be his one creature comfort. You can come say hi to Chris in our equipment department or check out his band at one of their shows!

Our October Employee Spotlight is ✨️Jon Hensen✨️
Head of Post-Production, Supervisor of Post Operations, and liaison for our valued clients. From the technical to the creative sides of post-production, Jon does it all.
This year Jon and our post team expanded Lighthouse’s N. 4th Post to include remote editing and AVID workflows to help editors, producers, and directors stay easily connected no matter where they are located.
Jon’s film career started with an interest in music and has led him to live and work in Florida, London, and New York. Jon eventually made his way to Wilmington with his family when he stumbled upon Lighthouse looking for a post supervisor. Sounds like fate! Jon loves playing his guitar and hitting the beach. October is also Jon’s birthday month, so everyone say Happy Birthday to our amazing JH!

We at Lighthouse Films are deeply saddened by the loss of many North Carolinians. As the floodwaters in western North Carolina recede and the extent of the damage becomes more apparent, we feel compelled to take action.

That’s why we’ve decided to donate 50% of the ticket sales from our upcoming Limited Theatrical Release of Cliff Cash: The Long Road at The Brooklyn Arts Center to support relief efforts in western NC. You can purchase tickets through the link in our bio, and we’ll share the amount raised on the day of the event.

By sharing the artistry of our work with Cliff Cash and our fellow NC Film Crew, we aim to raise awareness of the ongoing challenges facing our communities in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene and come together to support those in need.
