Resort Town & Hotel Tours
Live, continuous walking-tour films of California resort towns and the hotels at their heart. One unhurried walk through the streets, shops, beaches and dining, with few cuts, so viewers feel like they're there, framed by drone establishing shots.
For cities & tourism boards
Cities, visitor bureaus and chambers commission destination films of their town, ground plus drone. You get footage licensed for your own marketing, and we publish the film on Liive from California and Liive from Laguna for extra reach.
What it is
The town, the hotel, one film.
A walking tour of a town's streets, shops, beaches and dining, plus the hotel itself: arrival, lobby, rooms and suites, pool, spa, restaurant and views, tied together with drone establishing shots.

Honest planning notes
Laguna Beach requires a City Commercial Photo Permit for commercial filming on city streets, sidewalks, beaches and parks; applications are due at least 3 weeks ahead, and the City does not issue commercial film permits between Memorial Day and Labor Day. Palm Springs requires a film permit for filming on public and private property, applied for at least 30 business days ahead, with nearby residents and businesses notified at least 72 hours before. Permit and city fees are passed through at cost.
