THE VISION
Main Purpose
At Zenventures, we craft cinematic journeys that merge extreme adventure with urgent environmental storytelling. Each of our projects—whether soaring on the jet stream, climbing uncharted peaks, navigating the world’s great lakes, or crossing Africa without fossil fuels—captures a frontier where human ambition meets the planet’s fight for survival.
What sets us apart is our ability to film in the wild, without compromise, creating authentic and visually powerful time-documents that resonate far beyond the screen.
Our expeditions are not just stories of exploration, but living chronicles of a world in transformation, crafted for audiences who seek both inspiration and truth.
Driven by passion and guided by technology, Marc, Claudio and Martin share a fascination for the ambitious goals we can achieve when we harness the forces of nature.
Together with producer Eileen, we combine our passion for innovation and adventure to stage extraordinary energies with extraordinary events.
Our Why
We are committed to ensuring that future generations worldwide can thrive on an energy self-sufficient and healthy planet.
This vision drives us to dedicate our full energy and passion to this cause.
