Your visual partner.
Cinematic content for restaurants
Not just a videographer. I plan, film and edit content that puts your business in front of people ready to visit, book and buy.
Hi, I'm Jose.
I'm a filmmaker based in Costa Rica. I started CABA Films because I believe every place, product and person has an emotion worth showing.
I do not just show up and film. I am your visual partner: I help shape the idea, film it with intention and edit it so the result looks like you and works for your business.

Common doubts, answered
The questions people ask before they write to me. If yours is not here, just ask.
It is too expensive for my budget.
You can start with a single video from $250, with no commitment. If you want more later, the price per video goes down with monthly and custom plans.
Why not just film it with my phone?
I film in 4K with professional lenses, lighting, stabilizers and drone shots, and every video is colour graded. In the monthly plan, scripts are written by a publicist, so each video is made to sell, not just to look good.
I do not have time, and I do not know what to post.
Everything is filmed in one session. In the monthly plan, scripts, photos, editing and delivery are included, ready to upload. All I need from you are your ideas or references two weeks before the shoot.
What if I do not like the result?
We talk about your goals and references before filming, so the video looks like what you imagined. After delivery, up to 3 rounds of changes are included.
How long until I get my video?
Within 15 calendar days after the shoot, at the latest.
