A Dream Taken to the Skies: My First Helicopter Flight in Belize with Astrum Helicopters

As a filmmaker, there are certain moments that feel like a dream come true. For me, one of those moments came during our commercial shoot with Astrum Helicopters in Belize a trip that marked my very first time flying in a helicopter, and I had my camera in hand to capture it all.

The opportunity to film aerial content over some of the most beautiful places in the world the islands, the barrier reef, and the endless turquoise waters of Belize was beyond exhilarating. Flying high above these stunning landscapes, I couldn’t help but feel an immense sense of awe and gratitude. It’s one thing to see these places from a postcard or a photo, but to capture them from above with my own camera was a whole different experience.

Having the chance to bring my camera on board to document these helicopter tours for Astrum Helicopters wasn’t just a professional opportunity; it was a deeply personal moment. It was everything I had imagined it would be the thrill of the flight, the beauty of the scenery, and the satisfaction of capturing incredible content for a brand I respect.

For me, this shoot was a reminder of how far I’ve come and how powerful it is to follow your dreams. There’s something special about working in a place like Belize where adventure and opportunity meet, and moments like this make all the hard work worthwhile.
