Travel

We, at Smart Zombie Studios, love to travel. For us, it’s an escape from the routines that keep us stagnant and focused on the banal. Our team feels that travel is the only time we truly feel like our real selves. There are no mountains too high and no roads too long that we won’t …

The Documentary Guys

A few years ago we had the idea to combine our love of travel with our love of filmmaking. Unfortunately, we were in the middle of the COVID-19 pandemic and were limited in terms of where we could travel. Thankfully though, we live in the second largest country on Earth so we still had plenty …
