Hi, I’m Xavier Pasquel, an FAA Certified Drone Pilot and founder of Cinema Flight.
I’ve been flying drones for over 7 years, combining my passion for aviation, filmmaking, and visual storytelling to create cinematic aerial content for businesses, brands, real estate professionals, and social media.
My background in videography, photography, and content creation has allowed me to spend hundreds of hours flying in real-world environments while helping businesses bring their vision to life through aerial media.
I studied Interactive Media & Web Design (Bachelor of Arts) with a Minor in Graphic Design at Lindenwood University in St. Charles, Missouri, while also completing studies in Belleville, Illinois. My education helped build a strong foundation in visual storytelling, digital media, branding, and content creation.
Today, I use my experience to help beginners build confidence with drones through hands-on instruction, practical flight skills, and real outdoor flight experience.
Whether you’re flying for fun, creativity, content creation, or simply curiosity, I’m here to help you feel comfortable behind the controls and enjoy the experience of learning to fly.
