Brothers, Best Friends, & Filmmakers in Austin, Texas.
Ryan Janik and Tyler Janik.
We grew up going to every movie and watching the classics. Being obsessed with storytelling, writing, and performance since childhood, the entire filmmaking journey began in the 2000s when we bought a Sony Handycam with birthday money. We spent all of high school making films and were known in school for it, casting our friends and family in funny and experimental short films.
The Business
Our experience in the professional industry goes back to 2009 when we relocated to Austin to pursue our craft in film and film school. This led to various roles throughout the industry including screenwriting, set design, cinematography, soundtrack composing, editing, acting and directing. Throughout our journey to founding the studio, we have worked variously for blockbuster film productions, streaming television, and major corporations in our pursuit of the art of storytelling. We founded our film production company in 2022. Since then we have recently written and directed music videos, commercials, short films, and feature film production for a variety of clients. We understand the language of cinema and strive to tell great stories in classic fashion with modern tools and workflows. Contact us today and we can help you achieve your vision, professionally and creatively. Email: janikbrosfilms@gmail.com
