About Skyllamas

From dream to reel.

Skyllamas Productions is a video production company in Totowa, New Jersey, built on rhythm, timing and human connection, and founded in 2018 by director and former competitive ballroom dancer Slawomir “Slawek” Roszak.

Our story

Stories with rhythm

Slawek stepped onto his first ballroom competition floor in 1996. In 2010 he came to the United States from Poland to compete, and in 2018 he retired from competition and founded Skyllamas, bringing the dancer’s instincts behind the lens. He still coaches and choreographs dancers today.

That background still shapes how we work. Every shot is planned like choreography: where the camera moves, when the talent hits their mark, how the cut lands on the beat. It’s why our commercials feel precise and our music videos feel alive.

Today we write, board and shoot commercials, brand films and music videos from our studio in Totowa, where we also produce podcasts. And we make room for emerging talent, giving new actors, musicians and creatives a real set to grow on.

  • 32years of dance
  • 22years competing in ballroom, 1996–2018

What’s in a name

Five things we stand for

Skyllamas was named for the values we bring to every set: perseverance, creativity, fun, teamwork and a little good luck.

  1. 01

    Perseverance

    Competitive ballroom teaches you to rehearse until it’s right. We bring the same patience to every take and every edit.

  2. 02

    Creativity

    Every project starts with an idea worth making. We develop concepts, scripts and boards that give your story its own look.

  3. 03

    Fun

    Relaxed sets make better performances. People on camera look like themselves when the room feels good.

  4. 04

    Teamwork

    Directors, crew, talent and clients working as one partnership, from the first call to final delivery.

  5. 05

    Good luck

    We plan hard so the happy accidents on set have room to happen, and we’re ready to catch them.
