About us
GJFC Factory came out of direct experience on film sets. We are Luigi and Giacomo, technicians specialised in manual lenses, with years of work alongside rental houses, DPs and camera departments. We know what a set needs because we are part of it.
It always starts from a real need of our own — the need of someone who works on set. That is where the idea comes from, and the drawing board becomes our test bench: designs put under stress, turned upside down and redrawn until they genuinely hold up.
The technical drawing takes shape and becomes a 3D model: measurements, tolerances, materials.
Here the idea stops being theory. The 3D model becomes a physical object, a prototype you can assemble, use and test. This is the moment of truth: on set, under real stress rather than simulated.
Every fault is valuable information: back to the drawing, correct it, test it again, until the design proves it genuinely works.
Only once the prototype has passed every test in the field do we move to final production. Finishes and manufacturing processes come in, chosen to last.
From the need of someone working in the field comes a tool built for someone working on set.
