    Hi Karine, we have extensive experience fixing productions for international projects.

    I’m very sorry I couldn’t reply earlier but I was on the field, high in the Andes, with very limited cellphone signal and no internet at all, and just came back for the holidays…

    Merry Christmas BTW ;)

    Please send us an email with your project needs at: cale@grafex.tv

    Hi Merri,
    we have extensive experience working with international crews, our clients include National Geographic, Discovery, BBC, CNN, Channel 5, among other major networks.

    We would like to suggest you filming in the Ecuadorian Amazon rain forest, there are many safe locations, with great accommodation facilities and that “unique deep-jungle look” you may want to have in your film.

    Please provide us your contact information so we can call you and give you more detailed information, I’m absolutely positive on getting the right locations for your project.

    Kind regards,
    Calé Rodriguez

    Hi Brian, we have extensive experience shooting in the jungle with foreign crews. We just did a “Robson Greene’s Extreme Fishing” episode for Channel 5 (UK), and before that a “Wild Things with Dominic Monaghan” for NatGeo Wild. We are also producing a documentary about the “Chevron – Texaco”, shooting in Coca twice a month for a couple years now.

    Shooting in the Yasuni National Park is not that easy, we should talk.

    Here’s my contact information:
    Name: Calé Rodriguez

    We’ll be looking forward to hear from you!

    Hi Merri,

    This is Calé from Ecuador. You are totally right if you are coming to Ecuador for your shooting, all your locations are here, it’s secure, cheap local workforce, same US dollars you use, well… I think you’ve been here before.

    Right now I’m just finishing a project in Mexico but I’ll be back on Friday, Dec. 20th.

    We have extensive experience working with foreign crews and overseas projects, we can handle all your needs (shooting permits, legal paperwork, customs clearance, local hiring and rentals, logistics, and many others).

    Let’s talk! my email is cale@grafex.tv

    Best,

    Calé
