About HFX Studios
“HFX” stands for “Historical Films and Experiences”, and is a straight-to-the point way of telling you exactly what we’re about. HFX covers a wide range of topics that all somehow circle back to retelling and preserving the tales of history, whether it’s diving deeper than ever on oft-told stories such as the sinking of the RMS Titanic, or shining light on forgotten events like the lost town of Alum Creek Canyon.
HFX tells its stories through documentaries, film, and Virtual Museum Experiences - an educational video game format that it is aiming to define and pioneer.
HFX works closely with historians in every field that it approaches, valuing the life-long research in which others have invested, and seeks to share their efforts with the world. We are a studio that prides ourselves in the uncompromising lengths we go to in order to research our subjects and uncover new information.
About Tom Lynskey
I’ve always loved history, adventure, exploration, and film making. I’ve also always loved sharing and retelling stories, bringing history back to life and making it engaging. I feel fortunate that my company, HFX Studios, enables me to dive into my passions, and that so many people have supported and encouraged this work. I’ve made films my whole life and am finally chasing that interest professionally.
“Part-Time Explorer” is my personal YouTube channel. I had intended to make a separate channel for HFX Studios, but there was too much cross over between my personal and professional projects, so PTE has become the official location for the HFX youtube channel.
This isn’t a one-man show, however. Large projects, such as the Virtual Experiences or major documentary productions often involve teams of perhaps a dozen or more talented individuals. Even smaller videos would be a lot harder without the assistance of my lovely wife, Emma, helping with both filming and editing.
