Fairbanks Films

I’m Troy Fairbanks—a filmmaker, cinematographer, and drone pilot based in Denver, Colorado, available for hire worldwide. I’ve been passionate about filmmaking since I picked up my first camera at age 9. Over the years, that passion has grown into a career centered around storytelling—helping brands connect with their audiences and capturing the beauty and magic of life through film.

I own and operate a video production company, Fairbanks Films, LLC (fairbanksfilms.com), where we specialize in commercial productions, action sports, branded content, interviews, corporate work, documentaries, nonprofit films, live streams, and event coverage. I also run Rise Aerials (riseaerials.com), which focuses solely on high-end aerial cinematography using UAVs/drones. If you’re looking for a DP, camera operator, or aerial cinematographer—or need full-service video production to take your project from concept to final deliverables with a skilled team—I’ve got you covered.

I own and operate a full range of professional gear, including the Sony FX6, FX3, A7S III, DJI Inspire 3, DJI Mavic 4 Pro, custom FPV drones, G&E, audio equipment, gimbals, jibs/cranes, a teleprompter, and more. I also have a close network of talented crew members—producers, directors, gaffers, audio techs, and camera operators—so I can scale teams based on your project’s needs.Some clients I’ve worked with over the years include Toyota, Red Bull, Amazon Web Services, Nissan, Charles Schwab, AARP, PBS NewsHour, Yeti Cycles, Outside TV, Obermeyer, Town of Vail, Epic Mountain Gear, 9News, Town of Winter Park, Lane 8, GRiZ, Abus, Birkenstock, and more. At the core of what I do is a love for storytelling, a commitment to high-quality work, and a focus on creating a smooth, enjoyable experience for my clients. If you have a project in mind, I’d love to hear more about it and see if I’m the right fit to help bring it to life.
