Behind the scenes of Festival de la Luz with Alex’s expertise

I was part of a TV crew from Mexico City that arrived in San José to shoot a documentary about the renowned Festival de la Luz. The festival is vibrant, colorful, and thrilling, but managing logistics during the event can be a daunting task. Thankfully, Alex, our chauffeur, turned out to be the perfect guide for our project.

His professional attitude and friendly manners were the driving force of our successful shoot. His local knowledge was instrumental in helping us move around the festival’s packed streets. He recommended the best shooting locations and shared insights about the event’s history and cultural significance, giving us context that elevated our storytelling.

The festival’s heavy traffic regulations could have been a major challenge, but Alex managed it all brilliantly. He timed our routes perfectly, ensuring we never missed a shot. His adaptability and quick thinking allowed us to capture the festival’s energy while staying on schedule.

By the end of our trip, we all agreed that his support had been essential to the documentary’s success.
