The mystery of India’s ancient port of Muziris has captivated archaeologists for decades. Once at the heart of one of the world’s most influential trading routes, and hailed by Roman author Pliney the Elder as “the first emporium of India”, Muziris was known for its opulence, frequented by ships carrying spices, gems, ivory and silk.  However, suddenly, in the 14th Century, it was no more. Seemingly wiped from the map, the great port of Muziris disappeared without a trace. To this day, there is still huge debate over Muziris true location, but could new archaeological evidence finally provide an answer?

Located in the Indian state of Manipur, Keibul Lamjao National Park is the world’s only floating wildlife sanctuary. The park’s Loktak Lake—the largest freshwater lake in northern India—is a spectacular sight, dotted with green patches and rings of vegetation known as “phumdi” that float atop the water. A biodiverse park, Keibul Lamjao provides sustenance to the people and animals of Manipur—including sangai, an endangered subspecies of brow-antlered deer revered by locals as the binding soul between humans and nature.

My name is Luis Carballo. In 1997 I started my professional career in journalism and since then I have found nothing better to do. At that moment began an adventure that took me around the world. Thanks to my work on an international television network, I was able to cover events such as the earthquake in Haiti in 2010, the Egyptian revolution in 2011, the wars between Israel and Hamas, the visit of Pope Francis to Holy Land and the funerals of Ariel Sharon and Hugo Chavez. Afterwards, in 2015, my report in Nigeria on Boko Haram was selected for the Emmy Awards.

For years I have worked in front of the camera as a reporter, presenter and interviewer, but also a lot behind it, because I have been producing reports and documentaries on a free-lance basis for a long time.

I do all kinds of video production, journalistic or commercial, for a wide range of clients: media, institutions, NGO and companies.

Besides, I shoot and edit all my work with my own professional equipment and the know-how from two decades of experience in TV.

Restless by nature, I’ve also been a professional photographer since the 1990s. At the end of 2001 I created in Barcelona, together with the French photographer, Jean Pierre Porcher, the photo agency, Gran Angular.

I am also a drone operator. Have all the official diplomas to fly drones up to 2 kg in any European country.

Howdy! Salutations! Companions!

After spreading colors all across the world with ‘Colored Glasses On’ 
We are now embarking on a new journey with ‘Filmontary’. Over the years we have achieved and collaborated with clients across the globe.

Well! We don’t want to boast but there are some little names in our kitty like Google, Disney, Al Jazeera, Bloomberg Originals, Voice of America, CGTN News, China Plus, Fairfleet, Business Insider, BMW, The Länd, McGraw Hill, Oxford University Press Pocket FM, Jung Von Matt among them.

We don’t even travel enough it’s just that we have worked across the globe in Norway, Sweden, United States, United Kingdom, Ethiopia, Niger, Nigeria, France, UAE, Switzerland, Singapore, Taiwan, China, Vietnam, Israel, Yemen, Bahrain, Albania, Somalia, Burkina Faso, Mozambique and
Democratic Republic of Congo.

Jokes Apart it’s all because we have been able to garner and develop relations with clients and partners across the globe to bring about the best of their visions. The most valuable asset in media and films is relations. The efforts, the casting, the production, the design,  the big machinery, the cameras, the lenses, the dollies, the jibs are just an outcome of those relations.

We collaborate and create the reason why we have adopted the name ‘Filmontary’. A term that signifies this amalgamation of ‘Films’ & ‘Documentaries’. Kudos!
