12 locations. One crew model.
Small senior units mobilised from our bases in India and the Philippines rather than flown in from Europe or the US — from a tunnel under the Bosphorus to a street stall in Mumbai, a rooftop bar above it and a tatami room in Tokyo, at full broadcast spec, for episodic series. Every one is a full production: eight days on the ground at minimum, never a fly-in. This is the year as it happens — 7 of 12 shoots wrapped, 36 frames published from 6 of them.
Siargao
Maximum FoodieSeason 7 premiereCulinary travel
The season opens in Siargao. Nay Palad Hideaway — one of the world's great small properties — on one end, and whatever the island's fishermen, farmers and home cooks were making on the other. The full spectrum, in one place.
Maldives
Maximum FoodieSeason 7Culinary travel
Avani+ Fares, in Baa Atoll — a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve. The brief was the atoll as the pantry: handline out on the water in the morning, the resort's own garden after it, and the spice ground on stone in between.
Mumbai
48 HoursSeason 1Destination documentary
Mumbai for 48 Hours. Eight days across the full spread of the city: AER at the Four Seasons and The Oberoi at one end, vada pav and pav bhaji on the street at the other, and the spice markets, Dharavi and the Dhobi Ghat in between. These frames are the aerial coverage — the ground material is still in post.
Tokyo
48 HoursSeason 1Destination documentary
Tokyo for 48 Hours. Eight days on the ground to build the hour — Tokyo Skytree and the engineering at one end of the range, Hoshinoya at the other, and the tables worth the trip in between. Akihabara at full volume on one side, a tatami room and a single microphone on the other, by a unit small enough to be let into both.
Istanbul
48 HoursSeason 1Destination documentary
Istanbul for 48 Hours. The Eurasia Tunnel and Galataport on the engineering side, The Peninsula at the top of the hotel market, and the city's best restaurants and meyhanes in between — eight days on the ground, and a permit for each. The Bosphorus shipping lane at the palace gate, the heritage tram working its way down İstiklal, and Taksim Square at the top of it.
Bangkok
Maximum FoodieSeason 7Culinary travel
Bangkok for Maximum Foodie — the best tables in the city, Nusara among them, and the Bangkok around them. The river at Wat Pho and Wat Arun on one side, the tower line and the rooftops on the other, and a dinner service framed against a temple roof in between.
