Dan Crosby founded Crosby Marine Film Services in Gibsons in 1986 to address the increasing demand for specialized marine services in the film industry, achieving significant success in the company’s early years. The business continued to flourish when Dan’s son, Jason, joined the team a decade later, and together, they worked on major productions like Free Willy 3. In 2003, Jason took over as president, assuming responsibility for the company’s daily operations and relocating it to Vancouver, where he continued the family legacy of providing expert boat and water services for the film industry. Crosby Marine Film Services has been operating for over 30 years and is now widely regarded as a respected and essential part of the Canadian film industry.
