“I think everyone needs to experience Indonesia for themselves, as there are so many unexplored locations that can enrich any production.  This project was physically tough with traveling to capture all the shots, but the production support from Seven Sunday Films was incredible.  Working with them was an absolute pleasure as they made every aspect of the shoot effortless and fun!” says director, Jan Wentz.

Director of Photography, Stuart Graham states, “My experience shooting in Indonesia was excellent.  The vast diversity visually and culturally within the country is so intriguing to me and truly amazing.  The only difficulty was trying to capture the essence of all 18,000 islands into one spot, there’s really no way to do the country justice in a just a couple minutes.  As for Seven Sunday Films, working with them was a real pleasure.  They really looked after us and blessed me with some great memories and great friends.”

Gil Kenny, Producer from Quad, Paris said, “Indonesia’s incredible scenery and level of professionalism delivered by the crew really made my experience great.  Seven Sunday’s also ensured that production ran smoothly despite the tough logistics.”
