Shawn Boskie

Shawn Boskie’s journey through the wild world of film and private equity is anything but boring. Two decades deep, this guy’s raised over $130 million for movies and TV. Yeah, that’s a lot of zeros. He played a major role at Pure Flix Entertainment—not just another studio, but a name that actually made a dent in the faith-based film space. When Pure Flix’s streaming platform and brand got scooped up by Sony Affirm in 2020, that wasn’t just some small deal. That was a legit move. Now, he’s steering the ship at Canyon Productions. What do they do? Pretty much give the fuel (read: cash and know-how) to get movies and limited series off the ground—especially the kind that stirs up faith or reminds you not to be a jerk to other people. It’s not all business suits and meetings for Shawn, though. He’s got a degree in Economics & Finance from Grand Canyon University (so, yeah, he knows his numbers), but he’d probably just as soon talk strategy over a chessboard or sneak out for a round of golf. And don’t get him started on Alaska—he’s still daydreaming about zipping through the snow in a helicopter, probably plotting his next big move somewhere between adrenaline rushes. Honestly, if there’s a guy who knows how to chase a vision and actually pull it off, it’s Shawn Boskie.
