Maximize quality, minimize costs: Film in Los Cabos with Banzai!
“Working with the Banzai team was a truly top-tier experience.
Juan was an exceptional fixer with tons of local knowledge. He knew exactly who to call for what job, and every crew member who came onto our set, as part of Banzai’s team, was a consummate professional and a skilled artist in their own right. If you have a production coming to Los Cabos, I highly highly recommend Banzai!”

“Banzai was the perfect solution for our commercial production needs down in Los Cabos.
They provided great G/E equipment as well as hard working crew for our film production. We had very long days scheduled, yet Alex and Juan were very professional & trustworthy throughout our whole shoot. I will continue to use Banzai for all of our productions in Los Cabos and would recommend them to anyone! Looking forward to the next one!"
