Ocala & Jacksonville

The crew’s first road trip was to Ocala, Florida to film Glenn the Geek at Horse Radio Network Headquarters! Glenn is the largest broadcaster in the horse niche with 13 shows that are a part of his network. He was an amazing host. The only problem with Glenn was that he gets up at 4 a.m. – a real challenge for the crew, a cast of dedicated night owls!

Leaving Ocala, the crew drove up to film the team at Buzzsprout, a company that hosts audio for podcasters, at a park in downtown Jacksonville. The backdrop was one of the most beautiful of the entire film! It was surreal how vivid the colors were.

While conducting interviews, Niel Guilarte decided to take his drone ICEMAN out for a spin. The shots were breathtaking.

Behind-The-Scenes Trivia

The ICEMAN Goeth

Niel Guilarte was flying his beloved drone ICEMAN over the water in Puerto Rico. Just as his drone cleared the water, the winds picked up, and elevated ICEMAN above the tree line and into an emergency landing on top of a palm tree. Twenty feet up and on a tree leaning precariously over a freshwater river that emptied into the ocean, the chances of recovering ICEMAN seemed grim. That’s when James Van Prooyen saved the day by clambering up the palm tree and saving Niel’s drone. This was one of many close calls where the crew almost lost ICEMAN.
