ABOUT US
WHO WE ARE
In 2009, at the start of our journey, What Took You So Long? was a small group of young filmmakers who didn’t feel like the media was doing a great job of representing places as they really are. So we set out to change that. We left our apartments, families, and friends behind, and began a nomadic journey that now spans over 150 countries, and instilled within our company a love of people, and an obsession with the road, that forms the backbone of who we are.
Our core team includes Directors, Producers, Cinematographers, Editors, Animators, UX Designers, Developers, Campaign and Social Media Managers. We speak 13 languages, and have a majority female leadership. We also built a Circle of over 100 creatives, across 50 countries, who write, direct, edit, animate, and everything in between. There is essentially no place in the world we can't organize a shoot or campaign in, the world is, and always will be our studio.
No matter how much we grow, no matter what new adventure we embark on, we will never lose our awe of the natural world, the human spirit, and the spectacular things we humans are capable of, if only given the chance.
