Travels to Beautiful and Wild Places- Jim Karnik Films

Travels to Beautiful & Wild Places is a collection of short films with a focus on nature & Eco travel, tours, lodging and related services. Whether exploring nature reserves close to my home in Southern California or hiking through vineyards in Tuscany, my interest is in creating cinematic pieces that convey a sense of place, allowing the viewer to experience the ambiance of a location. In addition to visual montages, the series features stories about spectacular destinations, adventures and interesting people we meet along the way. Getting to beautiful & wild places is half the adventure, so the series also includes profiles of lodges, tours, wineries and other travel related services. Enjoy!

If you are interested in having a film created for your lodge, tour or service, please contact me for details. EMAIL
