Although few industrial videos have been undertaken since my wife and I moved to the Philippines in September, 2001, Okara Video does, on occasion, take on important or exceptional projects such as those displayed in these pages. An earlier production on Philippine Nurse Recruitment can found by clicking here or on its link, below left.

A recent industrial production was done for the Del Monte Foundation Inc. which is based in Bukidnon and Cagayan de Oro, Mindanao. The 20-minute DVD documentary updates the famed scholarship program with a series of interviews conducted by Violy Hughes and includes stills, stock footage and several jazz tracks based on Philippine melodies.

Aside from the feature-length documentaries (60-minutes or longer) that I continue to work on, such as Headhunting Williams Jones, the most recent work is called Natural Living through the World of the Honeybee. Commissioned by Ilog Maria Honeybee Farms, The Ilog Maria Story, Part I, is a 15-minute DVD that is basically an educational video designed as an introduction to the world of honeybees. Aimed at young audiences visiting the newly-constructed Museum of the Honeybee (the only such institution in Asia), the video is shown inside the open-air structure where there are also live honeybee hives on display that are based on ancient and contemporary models.

The Museum was erected by Violaine and Joel Magsaysay in order to convey the importance of natural living through the maintenance of a healthy environment upon which the honeybees depend for their production of honey. The Museum, left, offers guided tours by prior arrangement. E-mail info@ilogmaria.com or call 63-46-865-0018  Of course, numerous honey products are sold in the farm store.
