In Search of Extraordinary

Anjou Productions

A World of Possibilities

Hi there – and welcome!

I’m Gina , the founder of our indie production company. We’re based on the US East Coast, but you’re more likely to find us in some remote corner of the world, with cameras, organic snacks, and lots of gear in tow. Traveling light remains an aspiration.

Whatever the place, we’re probably on some crazy adventure discovering inspiring stories, shooting images of breathtaking landscapes, or meditating on a cliff in the midst of an ocean on how to transcend the ordinary, and safe the planet along the way. The latter is proving to be hard. That’s probably why we take so many cat pictures.

There’s no simple way of explaining our vision and mission. Life just seems too fascinating to keep watching it from the sidelines. So one day, it felt right to roll up the sleeves, charge the gadgets, and step into a world where the 9 to 5 didn’t apply.

For us, the realm of extraordinary turned out to be the world of travel and creativity. That’s what we showcase. Maybe you’ll find our path inspiring If you do, let us know where it takes you. We enjoy a good story!

Exploring the Extreme

The end of the 19th century marked the beginning of the heroic age of Antarctic exploration. The race to the South Pole had begun. Men with courage, endurance, and ambition pushed their limits to bring glory to their countries. Many left limbs and lives in the pursuit of fame. The urge to conquer and tame. A  human trait. Our film, I am Antarctica, is an antidote. A visual poem to the Seventh Continent. A ballad of encounters in the world of ice. We aimed to create a tribute to its mysteries, and what they can invoke in us.

EXPLORING THE EXTREME is a series of stories that explore extreme experiences and conditions – human, natural or geographic. Some are real, some fictional. We hope you’ll find them all inspiring!
