Private Project

In Love with Eleuthera

During their projects on the Bahamas, Behind the Mask immediately fell 'In Love with Eleuthera'.
On one side, this film is a tribute to this beautiful island. On the other side, it is the 'making of' the short film 'Shark & Lion'. In either way you look at it: the audience dives into the island's atmosphere and beauty and learns about some threats to the island's environment, for example the threat of the invasive lion fish to the Caribbean coral reefs.

Director Statement

'Behind the Mask' is a project about passion for nature. We love to dive, fly and shoot. Along the way we observe, listen and document. The results are published as films, pictures and reports.
As soon as we are on a trip we feel like little kids playing outside, discovering something new under each stone. With new media at hand and a long builded up expertise in creating appealing media, 'Behind the Mask' we find a healthy balance in our lives.
We always tell our honest thoughts in whatever we publish.
We want to be part of the global network of creative nature enthusiasts trying to push our own limitations a bit further every time.
We intent to be polite, entertaining and transparent in our actions.
We believe that by telling our stories we can shine a light on the beauty of nature.
