A celebrity chef. Bug-infused cuisine. Live insects. Just one day to capture it all.

When brought us the concept for Orkin Bug Bites, we knew this wasn’t a typical production. Think Hot Ones, but with bugs. Five daring dishes prepared and tasted by and Orkin entomologist Ian, all captured in a single shoot day.

Celebrity talent schedules, specialty food styling with ingredients most kitchens have never seen, and live insects that don’t exactly take direction. That’s when having a real production partner matters most. Not just a crew, but a team that can shape the creative, build the framework, and problem solve when things get unpredictable.

Massive thanks to , , director , DP .ag , and every person who made this day run seamlessly.

When the client says they want to make it a series, you know you did something right.
