Overview

Equannabis Documentary tells the story of a company redefining sustainable agriculture in Ecuador.
As director, producer, and editor, I was trusted by Equannabis and Cáñamo Industrial Ecuador to craft a film that captures the company’s beginnings — from the first harvests of industrial hemp to their vision of natural wellness and social innovation. The film documents the emergence of a new industry built on transparency, research, and respect for the environment.
Through natural light and quiet composition, it reveals how Equannabis is cultivating more than crops — it’s cultivating change.

Approach

My approach was grounded in authenticity and restraint.
Using handheld camera movement, natural light, and subtle pacing, I aimed to reflect the company’s philosophy: innovation rooted in nature.
The project was shot in Ecuador’s coastal and highland regions, highlighting the synergy between science, sustainability, and human effort.

Reflections

This project marked a pivotal collaboration — one where storytelling and sustainability intersected.
Documenting Equannabis was more than a production; it was an opportunity to witness how vision and persistence can spark an entire industry. The documentary reflects both the humility of beginnings and the ambition of what’s to come.
