Avengers' Best Boy Electric, Tommy Dangcil breaks down 30 years of lighting iconic films

Описание: In Episode 3 of our Spotlight On series, we’re here with a veteran Best Boy Electric and Local 728 member, Tommy Dangcil ⬇️

Tommy's been working his magic on movies and television for over 30 years - from Netflix's Beef to Licorice Pizza, Munich, and even Marvel classics like Avengers: Endgame, and Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness.

From using color-coded lights to overcome language barriers on international sets to rigging thousands of feet of lighting across rooftops and water, Tommy shares his stories, problem-solving philosophies, and the evolving art of set lighting.

Learn how he adapted to new technologies, navigated high-pressure moments on massive sets, and built the kind of trust that lets producers say: “We trust you—staff it how you need to.”

🎥 This is the rarely-seen world of a Best Boy Electric—essential, underappreciated, and absolutely critical to the magic of cinema.
