Great storytelling lives in the tension between what we hope will happen… and what might go wrong.

Happy Father’s Day from our shoot! 🎉 Today, our incredible Director and talented DP – both proud dads themselves – are rolling with a slate that perfectly captures the spirit of the day: “PAPA!” Coincidence? We think not!

Wishing all the amazing dads out there a very special day!

That’s a wrap on season 1 of Pati Jinich Explores Panamericana. Last night was the season finale and if you didn’t catch it, you can still watch on website. And fun fact, if you’re wondering why Darren calls it American Intersections in the wrap call, it’s because it was our working title through production until Pati came up with its current title, which is quite a lot catchier in our opinion.

And while it’s easy to share photos of the wonderful crew in the field, that’s only a small part of the team who made this happen for us. Thank you to our incredible post team, Pati’s amazing team, and our incredible partners at who helped shepherd the process. It takes an army of dedicated people who worked tirelessly for months to bring these shows to life. You guys absolutely killed it. Thank you!
