Above Ground Level was founded with a deep respect for the filmmaking process and the people behind it. We’re drawn to the problem-solving, the collaboration, and the satisfaction that comes from helping a vision come to life. We look at every project as a chance to build trust, find creative solutions, and be part of something bigger than ourselves.

My name is Skylar Howell, and I’ve spent my life around cameras, crews, and storytelling. I earned both my fixed-wing and rotary-wing pilot licenses with the dream of flying helicopters for film, but when drone technology evolved, I saw an opportunity to take a different flight path. I started AGL from within Cinemoves Inc., a company known for The Art of Camera Movement. With AGL, I wanted to bring that same level of experience and reliability to the skies—with a team that truly understands how to work on set and support the creative process from the air.

Today, AGL is grounded in the values I was raised around: respect for the craft, pride in the work and trust in the people you stand beside. We’re not here just to fly drones—we’re here to listen, collaborate and contribute to your production in a way that feels seamless and supported. The goal is to always deliver great work and leave behind relationships as solid as the shots we capture. We’re here to tell your story from Above Ground Level.
