There are film-makers who specialize in 4x4, surfing,POV, underwater, romance, drama, comedy, documentaries, indegenous peoples, horticulture, etc...
Crews with equipment, without... writers, directors, camera-man, PD, best boy...
There are various formats, film, 16mm, 35mm, 70mm, video HD etc...
Perhaps by describing a bit more we could point you in the direction of previous works and their creators? and crews?
Is there a budget?
If you are looking for location info that's different than film-maker...

You mean, that's all there is to it? Tell them I'm making a movie and I can have a machine gun? I knew there had to be a way.

These permits are provided by the Secretary of Defense in Mexico City and take a minimum of two months to obtain. Collaboration with a local
production manager could be helpful to obtain that kind of permits.
I can put you in contact with a photographer who filmed over 300 general release Hollywood feature films. He lives near La Paz and is a documentary
film maker in his own right, as is his wife. Send me a U2U if you want particulars and if there's some money in it for him.
Many thanks to all who posted suggestions. I will follow up with each one if I haven't already.
I should mention that I'm open to splitting the project up among filmmakers in different areas, in the event various people have a local interest but
don't want to range too far.
@gnukid:
The project is a series of short place profile videos, starting with a dozen or so, covering Loreto and southward, and eventually covering the whole
peninsula.
Totally agnostic on format. The shorts are to run much compressed on a website, so image quality's not at a premium, but sound quality's a slightly
stickier wicket, as built-in mics are often no match for even a mild breeze. One- or two-person job. Lots of on-the-street interviews. Not a
blockbuster budget, to be sure, but compensation will be fair.
Cool, Sounds like prosumer HD video cameras with lighting, external remote mics, tripods and talent will suffice and it will be something we would all
enjoy.
Before you all soil your undies, you may wish to go to "redguide.com" so you will understand the nature and scope of this "project". It appears to be
a wannabe real estate support project.
