Cinematic Travel Content
I create cinematic travel films, high-end photography, and aerial work for hotels, tourism boards, and global brands — building a loyal, travel-obsessed audience that engages deeply with the stories I tell.
About
My name is Malakai Barclay — a travel filmmaker and content creator specializing in cinematic travel videos, high-end photography, and aerial drone footage for hotels, tourism boards, and global brands.
With a background as a professional photographer and videographer, I bring both artistry and strategy — delivering content that looks extraordinary and performs even better.
"Malakai delivered exceptional results for our DJI Mic campaign. The reel he created showcased the product clearly and creatively, blending cinematic storytelling with real-world use in a way that resonated strongly with his audience. The content surpassed expectations, generating over 1.2 million views on Instagram and driving high engagement while maintaining strong brand alignment."
"Malakai created some of the most compelling property content we've seen. His ability to highlight luxury, emotion, and experience all in one piece is truly unique. The visuals were stunning, highly usable across our marketing channels, and perfectly reflected the Hilton standard of excellence."
"Malakai delivered a complete visual transformation of our brand. The full refresh film captured the soul of Ulaman — nature, luxury, architecture, and experience — giving us a library of premium assets we now use across our website, social media, and marketing campaigns. The final film elevated our brand presence instantly. Professional, creative, and extremely easy to work with."
"Working with Malakai was a game-changer for our digital campaigns. His cinematic approach brought our gear to life in a way that felt aspirational while still being authentically aligned with our brand. The content performed exceptionally well, drove noticeable engagement from travel-focused audiences, and required almost no revisions."
"Malakai exceeded expectations on every level. He delivered a full suite of high-quality content faster than any creator we've worked with, and his storytelling showcased our vans in a way that genuinely inspired travelers to book. It felt like working with an in-house creative team — seamless communication and world-class visuals."
"Malakai brought our Nusa Penida yacht experience to life in a way that felt cinematic, premium, and aspirational. Communication was smooth, delivery was fast, and the final result exceeded expectations. This collaboration delivered real brand visibility, not just pretty visuals — we'd happily work with him again."
