Amazing 10-Day Shoot In Panama & Costa Rica

We are back in New York City after an amazing 10-day shoot in Panama and Costa Rica. The post-production begins. We are expecting to finish five short travel docs which will play on TripFilms.com and compete in the Real Food Media Contest. We will keep you posted on the progress. We are making films about these two places:

La Loma Jungle Lodge & Chocolate Farm

Urraca Private Island

Huts Over Water in Panama

One of these will be our home for a few nights while we are filming in Panama. Oh, and it's on a private island inhabited by Ngobes Indians. We need to take a 45-minute boat ride from the nearest town to get here.

And there is this:

And the owner has a pet monkey (the person in this photo is a guest, not the owner):

It's going to be a great shoot! Check out this amazing place here: Urraca Private Island

18th Editor's Pick on TripFilms.com - Paamul Hotel & Cabanas, Yucatan Peninsula, Mexico

I feared going to this area of Mexico because of it's reputation for being a party place for Spring Breakers but we found the perfect beach hotel: Paamul Hotel and Cabanas. A beautiful beach, excellent restaurant, relaxing pool and very close to the cenotes and ruins we wanted to explore. We got to know the chef Kulo, who outdid himself with every meal (and he's a great photographer). One of the coolest things, I felt, was the fact that locals came to the beach and ate at the restaurant. I could have stayed many more days. Winner of the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence 2013.

Immortalized on the Walls of Videomaker Magazine

Honored and flattered. Jennifer O'Rourke, Videomaker magazine's managing editor sent me these photos of "video producers in action." It appears that there are two large, framed photos of Morgan Paar adorning the halls of Videomaker headquarters in Chico, California. The top one is filmmaker Andrew Burke and Morgan in the Argentine Andes above El Bolson with Andrew's Panasonic HVX200 and the second is Morgan on Isla del Sol (Island of the Sun), an island in the southern part of Lake Titicaca in Bolivia, using the same camera. Thanks Videomaker, can't wait to visit you in Chico.

Here is the doc we made for Current TV from that first photo: click here.

5th Photo Appearing in Westin Hotel Advertisement

Ok, I think this is the last Westin Finds/AFAR photo, for a little while at least, though we hope they use more of our images.
