Wild and Hidden Places

A FILM BY Dave Kwant | PRE & POST PRODUCTION: Vision Co

Wild and Hidden Places was a return to our roots in adventure filmmaking. An attempt to showcase the West Coast's extraordinary river canyons in a form that heroed the places rather than the athletes.

The production required genuine backcountry access in remote canyon environments on the West Coast. Locations that demanded physical commitment and logistical preparation as well as unique white water kayaking and camera skills. The film placed third in the worldwide Kayak Session Film Awards.

Adventure Film Production — West Coast New Zealand

Vision Co produces adventure and outdoor films from our base on the West Coast and South Island, with access to some of the most dramatic and least-filmed environments in New Zealand. Our CAA drone certification, DOC filming permits, and genuine field capability in remote terrain give us production access that most film companies do not have. For adventure, outdoor and expedition film projects in the South Island, we offer the combination of technical production skill and on-the-ground capability that these environments demand.
