BEHIND THE SCENES ๐ฌ NATURE DOCUMENTARY ๐ฅ ARTE Discovery ๐บ
We were honored to collaborate with an incredible team on our latest production: a TV documentary series for Europeโs ARTE, spotlighting Southeast Asiaโs last rainforest: the Cardamom Mountains (๐ฐ๐ญ Phnom Kravanh แแแแปแแแแแแแแแแถแ).
This vast jungle is home to some of the planetโs most unique and endangered wildlife, including Asian elephants, pileated gibbons, Sunda pangolins, and more, along with a rich diversity of exotic plants, like the aromatic cardamom spice that gives the mountains their name ๐๐๐
Filming Episode 1 was a 15-day adrenaline rush, made unforgettable by the amazing people around us: local guides, rangers, villagers, conservationists, and scientists, like Cambodiaโs top herpetologist, Mr. Neang Thy, who has contributed to the discovery of over 20 amphibian and reptile species, two of which were new to science!
A huge shoutout to the talented German filmmakers: Lisa, Julian, and Till, for brilliantly capturing the Kingdomโs thriving biodiversity, breathtaking landscapes, and captivating culture ๐๐ฉ๐ช
This documentary, aimed at promoting Cambodia, wouldnโt have been possible without the unwavering support of Wild Earth Allies, the Ministry of Culture and Fine Arts, the Ministry of Environment, and the local communities who generously shared their time, expertise, and dedication.
THANK YOU all from the bottom of our hearts ๐
Last but not least, a heartfelt thank you to our dear client, dmFilm, for entrusting our leading local producer, Sopheak Film Fixer, and our team with this extraordinary project. We canโt wait to work together again!
