Gem Hunt Vietnam, Gem Hunt Cambodia
NHNZ for Travel Channel, Oct-Nov 2012

Ron LeBlanc and his team of gem hunters travel the world in search of pieces to turn into jewels. In October and November 2012, the Gem Hunters team travelled to Vietnam and Cambodia in partnership with Hanuman Films. We covered them in Northern Vietnam with our old friend and top fixer Trung Trinh or TT for short. In Cambodia, they shot in Pailin in the far west of Cambodia, a former Khmer Rouge stronghold, and then boomeranged back across the country to film in Ratanakiri in the far northeast. These episodes will be broadcast during 2013.

The Spice Trip, Cambodia
Channel 4, September 2012

Black pepper is the world's most commonly used - and misunderstood - spice. In Cambodia we discover the berries of the pepper vine have much more to offer. The Channel 4 Spice team travelled to Cambodia in September 2012 to discover the delights – and medicinal properties – of the kingdom's famed peppercorns. As well as visiting Starling Farm pepper plantation near Kep, the team travelled along Cambodia's coastline and through the capital to experiment with new flavours and recipes. Food writer and chef Stevie Parle and spice mixer Emma Grazette discover the wide variety of uses of Cambodian pepper, including in helping to contract the womb after the delivery of a child, a scene featuring our very own Kulikar Sotho as translator-presenter.

Parle had visited Cambodia before, but was overjoyed to return to a country that had proved... >>more

Documentary with the Institut Pasteur and the French researchers Françoise Barré-Sinossi and Catherine Ferrant about sicknesses. The documentary will be broadcasted on France 3 and will last 90 minutes.

Extreme Smuggling
Discovery Channel, 9th – 13th June 2012

Discovery Channel came to film a segment for a documentary about animal smuggling titled Extreme Smuggling in June.  They only sent out a field Producer and required us to hire a local D.O.P., Sound Operator and some lighting equipment locally.

We used our large Database of experienced Crew to bring in an Western D.O.P from Thailand who was experienced in this style of shooting bringing his own Sony EX3 Camera kit to shoot with.

We sourced a Sound Operator who is based in Phnom Penh who has worked with Hanuman Films on many projects and knows what it takes to capture the right sounds on a sensitive shoot like this. The five day shoot with the Wildlife Alliance kept the crew on their toes with the majority of the filming Verite style as they went on anti-poaching patrols through the remote jungles of Cambodia in Chi Patt.

On the last day of their shoot they joined the local police force on raiding a restaurant in the capital Phnom Penh known to be selling illegal Wildlife as food. The raid was a huge success with a large haul of illegal food being found on the premise and the Crew capturing it all on film.


VOX Auto mobile
Nimbus Film, 26th March

For one of the most successful TV shows about cars on the German speaking TV market called “VOX auto mobil” Director/Producer Markus required information about a story of a car called the ‘ Angkor car’ made in Cambodia by Cambodian inventor Mr. Nhean Phaloek.

we sent one of our team off to research the story on behalf of Marcus to determine whether the story was right for what Markus was after to feature in Vox Auto Mobil.

After the successful research, Hanuman Films liased on the best available date for both Markus and Mr Phaloek for the one day shoot as well as the schedule for the day. Markus only had one day in Cambodia to shoot the full story so we made sure the schedule and timing of the day was precise.

One of our translators assisted Markus on the day with interviewing Nhean Phaloek as he did not speak any English. We also provided a Minivan so Markus could shoot Nhean Phaloek driving his vehicle. Our experienced driver who has worked on many Film and Television productions before made sure Markus could get the smoothest shots possible. Markus afterwards commented afterwards on his ‘Great driving skills’.
