At 500 miles the camino remains out of reach for those who are physically challenged. Moved by the profound impact the Camino had on us, we’ve decided to make it accessible to everyone. We’ll capture every single step of the 500 miles and 32 days into a high-quality virtual Pilgrimage. A pilgrimage all the way from the south of France to Santiago de Compostela. We’ll capture every moment of the experience; take every step in the landscape, see every church and village, hostel, and join every night for a shared pilgrims meal. For our audience it isn’t just about experiencing ‘the way’ but also about sharing the stories and the spiritual insights gained.

About Us
Hello, we’re Bas and Sam. Bas is from Holland and Sam is from Australia. Last year, we met while walking the Camino de Santiago in Spain, a journey renowned for its 500 miles of spiritual significance and stunning beauty. Moved by the profound impact of our journey, we’ve decided to bring the Camino to them. We have a small team of experienced and passionate cinematographers, production people, and developers. All have agreed to contribute without getting paid. However, creating such a comprehensive and immersive experience requires substantial resources. We need high-quality cameras ensure a cinematic quality.
Filming with two cinema-camera’s and a drone we will produce about 600 hours of raw footage that all needs to be edited. Then we’ll need to add subtitles, languages, and interactions. Once that is ready we will make the full 500 miles, 32 days and 250 hours of virtual pilgrimage open for everyone to watch.
