BlueCap Productions is a full-service video production
company focused on documenting the mineral-collecting
world.
As the son of mineral collecting pioneer Edward Swoboda,
BlueCap Productions' President Bryan Swoboda grew up
surrounded by minerals and mines. From running around
underground with candles at the Tourmaline Queen Mine in
Pala, California (which he still owns) to riding ore carts up the
incline at the Amelia Mine in Santa Rosalia, Mexico, minerals
were always in Bryan's life. But more than just the minerals,
it was the stories that accompanied the minerals that always
fascinated Bryan.
Since 2007, BlueCap Productions has been travelling the
world capturing some of the most important mineral stories
today. From in-depth video show reports to full-length
feature films on different mineral localities to recording the
many presentations going on in the mineral world, BlueCap
Productions is dedicated to preserving our mineral legacy for
future generations.

in partnership with Harvard University and the Society of
Mineral Museum Professionals (SMMP).
