​​A Sense of Abu Dhabi

We teamed up with NatGeo to produce a digital series plus photography and written articles to promote the cultural highlights of Abu Dhabi for the Department of Culture and Tourism. Our teams filmed in the mangroves, exploring the emirates’ commitment to sustainability, we met with a purveyor of traditional Arabic coffee to discuss the influence of the bean to Abu Dhabi’s past and future and we enjoyed the melodies of the traditional oud. The series was beautifully captured by director/ cinematographer David Betteridge.
