Filming on Monuriki Was an Intense Process
The team set up a production hotel on Monuriki, but the island was so remote that the trip to and from was nearly an hour. Filming on the island was a huge production. Each production team - audio, lighting, grips, etc. - needed their own hut built on the beach to store all of their equipment. Around 75-100 boats traveled to and from the island every day in order to bring in gear and actors.
