Challenges

Our film crew endured the same brutal conditions and the jungle tested us at every step.

Constant humidity and sudden downpours made keeping our equipment dry a daily struggle, and attempting to change lenses only caused them to fog instantly, forcing us to shoot the entire film on a single lens.

River crossings were high-risk, with local tribe members guiding us across on floating logs, putting both our gear and safety on the line.

On land, we had to keep moving to avoid relentless mosquitoes, while the slick jungle floor proved unforgiving, even managing to capture my own fall on camera.
