About Actuality Abroad

Actuality Abroad runs documentary filmmaking programs on location around the world. Vietnam, Morocco, Kenya, Peru, Nepal, Cambodia — crew members spend four weeks embedded in a community, researching stories, building access, and producing a short documentary from the ground up. The July 2026 program is based in Panajachel, Guatemala, on Lake Atitlán.

We collaborate with creators who want footage that looks like it came from somewhere, not content produced for content's sake. If your audience follows you because you find things worth finding, we're a fit.
