We didn’t set out to become a production company. We set out to follow stories in the air, under water, along mountain paths and quiet rivers.

Voices of Pura Vida
Costa Rica

Our latest film is here. Voices of Pura Vida takes us into Costa Rica, a land where only 0.03% of the Earth's surface holds nearly 6% of all known species. From coral reefs to mangroves, from rainforest canopies to dry forests, it's not just land: it's a living blueprint of coexistence. 

This documentary explores the delicate dance between humans and nature, guided by Costa Rica's spirit of conservation and its timeless motto: pura vida.


Filmed during a diving press expedition supported by the Costa Rican Tourism Board (ICT) and with a commission for Scuba Diver Magazine, the film dives deep into stories carried by water, wind and wilderness.
