About

Museum & Crane is a documentary production company based in Los Angeles. Founded in 2019 by Caryn Capotosto, an award-wining documentary producer.

“Our focus is on the development and production of non-fiction features, shorts and series inspired by art and pop culture.”

Caryn produced Wont You Be My Neighbor?, the critically acclaimed and top-grossing documentary film of 2018 that received an Independent Spirit Award, Critics Choice and Producers Guild Award for Best Documentary. She received a 2016 News and Documentary Emmy Award Award for her role as Co-Producer on Best of Enemies, and she was Associate Producer on the Academy Award and Grammy Award-winning documentary, 20 Feet from Stardom (2013). 

Caryn was the Executive Producer of the Netflix original, Emmy-nominated docu-series, Ugly Delicious, and Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner, starring chef David Chang. She was Co-Executive Producer of Shangri-La, a four part limited documentary series for Showtime about the prolific music producer, Rick Rubin. Caryn was a producer on the Sundance prize-winning Feels Good Man, a feature documentary about the infamous cartoon frog meme, Pepe the Frog, that recently won a News & Doc Emmy for Outstanding Research Documentary in 2021. Caryn also received a 2021 News & Doc Emmy as the Executive Producer of The Love Bugs, a short documentary by Allison Otto that won for Best Short Documentary in 2021. Recent projects include Little Richard: I Am Everything (Magnolia Pictures/CNN/HBO), a Sundance jury prize and Grammy nominee, and Lil Nas X: Long Live Montero which was released in 2024 on HBO.

Museum & Crane began in 2008 as a private art gallery in the Mt. Washington neighborhood of Los Angeles dedicated to integrating live music, multi-disciplinary performance, photography, film and video art. The gallery focus was on connecting artists with audiences outside of a commercial gallery setting and building a strong sense of community around the exhibition of contemporary work.
