NEWSLETTER #4
12 April, 2022Suitcase Magazine | Peru: Mountain Pass
12 April, 2022Welcome to September's newsletter. Here you will find information about shooting in Peru as well as some of our most recent work.
Ocucaje is a town 345km (215miles) south of Lima well known for its grapes and Pisco brandy. Close to this location we can find the "Cañon de los perdidos" (Canyon of the lost), a canyon created by thousands of years of water flow. This recent discovery unveils the force of the seasonal rain that comes down from the Andes, as it almost never rains here. The canyon reaches 600m (2000ft) of depth in some locations and is a hiding place for local vultures.
Given – The Movie
Given is the simple yet powerfully contemplative story of a unique family legacy come full circle. Told through the visceral experience of 6 yr. old, Given follows legendary surfers Aamion and Daize Goodwin from their island home of Kauai through 15 different countries, including Peru, in the quest for surf and to fulfill a calling handed down through generations. Set in wave after wave of stunningly visual earthscapes, Given blooms into a tender yet stirring exploration of a young boy's understanding of life through his familial bonds and their reverence for nature. We had the chance to assist them in general production needs during the Peru segment of the shoot.
