Who We Are

---

At Arballo Entertainment, our mission is simple yet powerful: to create compelling visual stories that connect people, preserve history, and inspire action. We are the proud producers of the acclaimed feature documentaries Scramble the Seawolves and The Mobile Riverine Force, both narrated by Mike Rowe and directed, produced, and edited by award-winning filmmaker Jeff Robaio. Our work gives voice to the forgotten, shines light on American heroes, and brings powerful, often-overlooked stories to life with emotion, authenticity, and cinematic force. Our team of directors, producers, cinematographers, editors, and writers brings over 25 years of experience in film, television, documentaries, and professional sports action—from Emmy-winning shows to global webcasts and world championship surf tours. Founder Jeff Arballo, a former teacher, athletic director, and championship-winning coach, has worked the camera on the World Surf League and ISA Surf Tour for more than a decade. He was the cinematographer on an Emmy-winning show, directed the first live webcast in China, and has helmed award-winning projects across genres. Jeff’s feature documentary Scramble the Seawolves, which he directed, shot, edited, and co-wrote, earned a Telly Award in 2020 and swept top honors at San Diego Film Week, winning Best Feature and Audience Choice in 2019. The film premiered to a standing ovation on the flight deck of the USS Midway before 1,100 guests and went on to air on KPBS, and through NETA, was broadcast on over 350 PBS stations in 48 states. Alongside producer Shannon Arballo, the film went on to screen at multiple naval bases, the Post Naval Graduate School, and was featured at the GI Film Festival and Branson Film Festival during Veterans Week. 

Our mission At Arballo Entertainment, we believe every story—whether it’s a brand’s mission, a forgotten chapter of history, or a moment of raw human triumph—deserves to be told with excellence. That’s the heart of what we do. Let us help you tell yours.
