About Us
WHO WE ARE
At Film Swag, we’re filmmakers first—designing the gear we actually use on set, every day, with the crews we trust. Our products are built around one simple mission: help filmmakers stay organized so they can stay creative and make it affordable.
We focus on the essentials: smart, durable organization tools. Our bags and pouches organize all your camera, sound, and G&E accessories. We create a full range of sizes to handle every piece of kit that keeps a production moving. If it lives in your camera cart, sound bag, or DIT kit, we’ve probably built a better way to store it.
We also care about the world we’re working in. That’s why our packaging is minimal, our products are label-free, and we avoid unnecessary materials. Less waste, fewer plastics, and no pointless tags—just practical gear that works. And by cutting out the excess, we pass those savings directly back to the filmmaking community.
The industry is shifting fast, budgets are tightening, and tools keep getting pricier. We built Film Swag to move in the opposite direction: make high-quality, brutally reliable organization gear that’s actually affordable. Because creatives shouldn’t have to pay a premium just to keep their tools in check.
This is gear designed by filmmakers, tested on real sets, and built for the people who keep this industry running. That’s Film Swag.
Meet Our Team!
Sam Moskowitz
Co-Founder & CEO
Sam Moskowitz is a filmmaker, Director of Photography, gaffer, and co-founder of Film Swag. He came up through lighting and grip before moving into camera, learning the craft from the ground up on commercial, television, branded, and documentary sets for clients like Netflix, the History Channel, The Design Network, HUM Nutrition, Overtime Sports, California Closets, and The Desire Company.
Years of hauling, labeling, and digging through cases convinced Sam that disorganized gear quietly kills efficiency and creativity. Film Swag is his answer to that problem. Drawing on his experience as both a DP and gaffer, Sam designs practical, durable, and affordable organization tools that actually work the way crews do—helping filmmakers move faster, stay more organized, and keep their energy focused on the work, not the mess.
Nick Mahar
Co-Founder & Creative Director
Nick Mahar is a Los Angeles–based commercial cinematographer and co-founder of Film Swag. Over the past decade, he’s shot for clients like Marvel, Meta, Maximum Effort, Google, and more. He toured with artists including Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and LOGIC—seeing first-hand how much time crews lose to scattered, disorganized gear.
As a working DP and owner-op, Nick builds the kind of organization tools he wishes he’d always had on set: thoughtfully designed, durable, and affordable. A member of the International Cinematographers Guild, ASC Vision Mentee (’23–’24), and 2024 ICG Emerging Cinematographer Honoree, his goal is simple—help filmmakers spend less time digging through bags and more time actually creating.
