We are a production company that strives to combine innovation with cinema to not only make some of the most compelling and ground-breaking documentaries, but we aim to evoke positive change through our storytelling. Implementing novel cinematographic technologies, such as the Shark SpyCam, Shark Harness, and the Bi-Directional FinCam, we have made discoveries and participated in the creation of stories revolving around these discoveries that can change the plight of various species all around the world.
We work with wild animals and top experts to bring logistically difficult productions to life. We are ambitious and strive to create our own projects or develop conservation engineering and cinematographic gear for other productions as we believe in collaboration as a means to achieve our cinema- and conservation-based goals.
