Jungle Run Production Services

For The Billionaire's Wardrobe, Joe Yaggi and Dian Hardianto sourced locations and characters, while the Jungle Run team secured film permits, visas and logistics and Dian accompanied the crew in the field. Filmed primarily in Cirebon and Rengasdengklok in West Java, locations also included the Jatinegara animal market in Jakarta and python hunting in the mountains of Kuningan, West Java. Concept to completion production support and experienced bilingual production support and fixers.

The Kertasura Snake Skin village was totally surreal. Hundreds of snake skins drying in the hot Java sun while bags of lives snakes were brought into a shed by hunters. One bag contained cobras, pythons and kraits. Little kids running around played with snakes making the scene completely otherworldly. It was an honor to work with Reggie Yates and BBC on this important film that shows what the wealthy are actually paying for.
