TESTIMONIES

  We have worked with Cale Rodriguez and that it was a positive experience—we couldn’t have made our show without him.

  We had a very tricky production, and he dealt with all our requests quickly and efficiently. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him to anyone who was filming in Ecuador.

  Thanks for reaching out. Yes, I’ve worked with Cale. He helped us on a shoot in Quito and was extremely flexible and professional. He was working with some challenging locations to setup equipment and his crew handled it very well. My client was also very happy with the performance.

  
  

• KITTIPHOL TIVAYANONDA – Singha Group

  My work experience with Calé from Grafex TV was excellent, and on behalf of all 32 people that went to Galapagos - I and my team from ad agency. production crew, 5 super stars, clients: we were very impressed and felt really happy that we found Calé and had a chance to work with him. At first, we had such a short period of time to ask for the working permit for shooting in Galapagos, but Calé - he is the one who made it happened. We communicated through lots of emails and phone calls during at first about processes and procedures, and also a help on the animal information which needed to be in the script

  - a solid information he sent from the research institution. In brief. from starting till the end, we were very satisfied working with Calé and team. And of course, if we or anyone we know are going to work aboard in South-America, I will personally recommend this is man they should work with.

• JOSH GATES – Travel Channel’s Expedition Unknown

I would recommend him without hesitation. He did a terrific job for us in Mexico and negotiated some very complex segments, including exclusive access to one of the most high-level archaeological digs in the country. He went above and beyond and made every day of our shoot run smoothly. In short, he's a rockstar.
