Adrift

Fiji · Open-sea production

  • 100+ Crew, picture boats and support craft moved daily
  • 4.5 months On location, principally offshore
  • Zero LTIs Lost Time Injuries across the campaign
  • US$100–300 Only minor asset damage recorded

Principal photography was undertaken on location in Fiji, with a large portion of the production carried out offshore. Each day, our operations ensured the safe transport of more than 100 film crew members, along with picture boats, stunt rigs and support vessels, across open sea and back. These activities were performed with a strong focus on operational safety and asset protection, resulting in zero Lost Time Injuries (LTIs) and only minor asset damage (valued between US$100 and US$300) over the 4.5 months on location.
