CAPTURING THE MAJESTY OF SEI WHALES IN ARGENTINA: A CINEMATIC ODYSSEY

Cristian Dimitrius is on a daring mission off the coast of Argentina, venturing into the depths to film the elusive Sei whales for a National Geographic Pristine Seas documentary. Joined by a multinational crew of researchers and Argentinian producers from Jumara Films, Dimitrius sets his sights on Rada Tilly, Chubut, a coastal gem teeming with marine life. Their goal? To unveil the underwater world of the Sei whales, a species rarely filmed. With meticulous planning and unwavering determination, the team aims to capture the whales' feeding behavior—a mesmerizing spectacle of grace and power. At the heart of their expedition lies the intricate dance between Sei whales and their primary prey, krill. As these tiny crustacean’s swarm in shimmering masses, the whales embark on a feeding frenzy, showcasing the delicate balance of life beneath the waves. Through Dimitrius's lens, we're invited into a realm of wonder and discovery, where every frame serves as a testament to the beauty and fragility of our oceans.
Stay tuned for this expedition results very soon here and on Cristian’s Instagram.

GREEN SHOOT

Cristian Dimitrius Productions is committed to offsetting the carbon emissions generated during our productions and services! After years working with nature, we decided that is about time to give back more, and to reduce our carbon footprint, we created the concept of GREEN SHOOT. From now on, we will plant a tree for every edited minute in all our series produced by us, and for filming and fixing work we do for foreign productions, we will plant a tree for every second of the final sequence.
Planting will be carried out in degraded areas of the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, which is our biome most threatened by urban occupation. We began this work in 2023 and applied the method for our last main projects (Untamed Brazil 3, Blue Brazil, Untamed Planet: Mexico and Untamed Planet: Argentina), planting more than 1,150 trees native to the Atlantic Forest, including many araucaria trees (Araucaria angustifolia) that currently occupy less than 1% of their original coverage.
Join us in this GREEN SHOOT preservation action and let’s give back to the planet some of what it gives us.

SECRETS OF THE OCTOPUS

On Earth day, April 21, premieres the third instalment of NateGeo’s Emmy-winning “Secrets Of…” franchise, “Secrets Of The Octopus”, which uncovers the secret lives of one of the most alien-like animals on the planet. Paul Rudd, who has previously starred in Marvel’s “Ant-Man” and most recently in the Hulu/Star Original series, “Only Murders In The Building”, will be narrating the documentary. From executive producer and National Geographic Explorer-at-Large James Cameron, the three-part docu-series follows the success of the Emmy-winning “Secrets Of The Whales”, narrated by Sigourney Weaver, and most recently Emmy-nominated and Critics Choice Documentary Award-winning “Secrets Of The Elephants, narrated by Natalie Portman. We had the pleasure to produce and film a complete sequence for the series in the remote island of Fernando de Noronha, Brazil. Octopuses are like aliens on Earth: three hearts, blue blood, and the ability to squeeze through a space the size of their eyeball. But there is so much more to these weird and wonderful animals. Highly intelligent, octopuses can use tools, transform their bodies to mimic other animals and even communicate with different species, including us. The secrets of the octopus are more extraordinary than ever imagined. Watch the trailer here.
