"Face The Wild"

Our production company was approached exclusively by Fox Networks Asia to produce a short branded documentary in California’s Anza-Borrego Desert as part of a series for National Geographic and international skincare brand SK-II. The arid, unforgiving conditions of the desert presented real challenges throughout the shoot, from extreme heat and shifting light to the logistics of getting equipment and crew safely in and out of such a remote, rugged environment.

Our episode stars mega-influencer Chiara Ferragni and Nat Geo Explorer Hannah Reyes Morales, and a key part of the job was keeping celebrity-level talent comfortable and camera-ready despite the punishing desert climate, all while maintaining the production’s tight schedule and high visual standards. All still photography was by Jesper Mcilroy.
