Costa Rica || Travel
Costa Rica is a rugged, rainforested Central American country with coastlines on the Caribbean and Pacific. Though its capital, San Jose, is home to cultural institutions like the Pre-Columbian Gold Museum, Costa Rica is known for its beaches, volcanoes, and biodiversity. Roughly a quarter of its area is made up of protected jungle, teeming with wildlife including spider monkeys and quetzal birds.

About
We filmed this short piece while on location in Costa Rica, capturing a glimpse of the country’s natural beauty and vibrant energy. Created as a personal project, it reflects the kind of visual storytelling we love -authentic, atmospheric, and grounded in place. We’re always open to new opportunities to create work like this in collaboration with brands, tourism boards, or other creative teams.
Process
Our process begins with in-depth research into the client’s objectives, past campaigns (including their successes and areas for improvement), their target market and audience, and the goals they aim to achieve. This is followed by a production call to review and confirm all details.
Next, we curate a tailored plan and schedule a pre-production call to reconvene, review the strategy, finalize shooting dates, and align on project timelines. We then maintain consistent communication with all stakeholders, handle travel arrangements, visas, location scouting, and secure necessary permits or permissions-essentially managing every detail.
We handle every detail of production, so the client can focus on their business as usual, trusting us to lead strategy and execution.
