Shaped like no other island on Earth, Sulawesi is a realm of dramatic contrasts. From the ethereal highlands of Tana Toraja
to the world’s most vibrant coral reefs, this is a land where ancient traditions meet breathtaking natural wonders, offering a cinematic palette of the extraordinary.
Land of Kings and Clouds
In the misty highlands of Tana Toraja, culture transcends life and death. Capture the astonishing architecture of the tongkonan houses,
the eerie beauty of cliffside graves, and the profoundly cinematic funeral ceremonies-a visually stunning testament to a unique and resilient heritage.
Islands of the Coral Triangle
Sulawesi is the epicenter of marine biodiversity. Below the surface at world-renowned sites like Bunaken, Lembeh, and Wakatobi lies an alien world of unparalleled color and life. It’s an underwater filmmaker’s dream, home to pristine coral walls and species found nowhere else on the planet.
Volcanic Peaks & Mysterious Valleys
Beyond the coastlines and highlands, Sulawesi’s interior offers a rugged and dramatic topography.
Explore the otherworldly landscapes of volcanic craters, serene highland lakes, and the remote Lore Lindu valley, home to enigmatic megaliths that have stood for centuries.
Colonial Ports and Modern Hubs
The coastal cities tell a story of trade, conquest, and resilience. In Makassar, the legacy of Dutch colonialism at Fort Rotterdam stands beside the vibrant energy of a modern port, where the magnificent Phinisi schooners-a testament to Bugis shipbuilding mastery-still grace the harbor.
Filming in Sulawesi
Ceremonial Protocols
We coordinate with Toraja elders to film funeral ceremonies with respect. Each ritual has specific permissions and traditional offerings required.
Marine Operations
Our underwater teams handle strong currents
in Bunaken and Wakatobi. We use rebreathers for extended bottom times and minimal
bubble interference.
Highland Access
Mountain roads require 4WD expertise. We work with local drivers who know landslide-prone areas and weather patterns.
this is just the beginning
