Our Story

To the Moon Productions was founded after Director / Producer, Angela Snow, quit her job in Los Angeles and drove up the California coast with the blind determination to leave the country, make a little money and continue filmmaking. Coincidently, after returning from a shoot in Lebanon, Cinematographer / Editor, Josh Gibson, emailed Angela with a preview to his new documentary. Needing a technically savvy partner with equipment, Angela proposed the idea of To the Moon Productions. Josh replied, "Hell yes, do you need me to move to LA?"

Before this time Josh and Angela were not close and had only known of each other while attending Columbia College in Chicago. Angela knew Josh as the talented cinematographer who bought a van and drove across the US after graduation.

Three days after the initial emails, Josh created the To the Moon Productions website and a month later two jobs were booked. On To the Moon’s one-year anniversary in December 2007, Josh and Angela had completed four videos, spent a month in Greece, a month in Vermont and two weeks in Peru. To the Moon Productions will return to Peru for the next 2-3 years to continue on the company’s first feature documentary.

It is through travel that we learn, through films that we share and through collaboration that we effect.

Angela Snow

Freelance Director/Producer

Founder To the Moon Productions

Based in Los Angeles, my work over the 2006-2007 year includes, Production Coordinator for Interloper Films, (a busy documentary production company), the Academy Awards, the Apprentice, and Lost Dream, an Independent Feature Film.

I graduated in three years from Columbia College Chicago with a BA in Film/Video Directing. While at Columbia, I Directed my own short films and was involved in the production of over twenty others. I also worked as a Teacher’s Assistant for a Directing Class. My two films, Some Assembly Required and New Recipe, are being screened at such festivals as the St. Louis Filmmakers Showcase and DC Shorts Film Festival. I have worked/interned in Vermont, Chicago, New York, St. Louis, and Los Angeles.

Originally from Vermont, I went to high school in St. Louis, where after graduating I immediately took off to backpack through France and Spain. I have lived and attended school in Barcelona, have traveled elsewhere, and cannot wait to explore more of the world, always along side my camera. I love, as a filmmaker, to have the power to take something, some other world, living in my head and show it to others, and just maybe somewhere along the line make a difference. In addition to the narrative work living in my head, I want to show others the reality that lives around us in other cultures, personal stories and places not seen by everyday eyes.
