Story Productions goes barefoot in reality TV shoot in Brazil’s Northeast for new episode of House Hunters International

Filming on beach in Fortim, Ceara

Not many people can boast the luxury of doing a day’s work barefoot on a beach. The Story Productions team has just shaken the sand out of their bags after a 4-day shoot with Leopard USA up in Fortim, in the northeast of Brazil, for the latest episode of House Hunters International.

The long-running reality series, on HGTV, a Discovery Inc. channel, follows people in their search for a dream property overseas. This is the fourth episode of House Hunters International in Brazil that Story Productions has worked on. Previous episodes have taken us to the beautiful beaches of Rio de Janeiro, during Season 26 and Season 103 and a stone's throw from our São Paulo headquarters (by Brazil terms), in Campinas.

For this episode, Story Productions provided location research, a camera assistant, fixer, production assistant and driver to support the Leopard USA team. Read more about the production services we provide.
