What I do
I design and build websites, shoot and edit films, render 3D architecture in Unreal Engine, and keep the digital side of tourism businesses running. If it lives on a screen, it is probably my department.
Michael Zoz
Websites, films, and 3D worlds, made in Costa Rica. I help resorts, tour operators, chefs, and musicians look as good online as they do in person.
The story
I design and build websites, shoot and edit films, render 3D architecture in Unreal Engine, and keep the digital side of tourism businesses running. If it lives on a screen, it is probably my department.
Most of my work grew out of the tourism and hospitality world here: resorts, eco-lodges, tour operators, private chefs, fishing charters. Years inside these businesses taught me what actually fills rooms and books tours, so that is what I build for.
The nickname stuck because clients kept handing me problems nobody else wanted to touch: a broken booking form, a site that vanished, a video due yesterday. The fix usually looks like magic from the outside. From the inside it is just years of doing this every day.
Where the work lives
Almost everything I make is rooted somewhere on this map. Tap a pin to see what happened there.
Hot springs country, volcano views, and two ongoing clients.
Consulting and travel planning work based out of the capital.
Live music on the Pacific coast.
My home turf for resort and villa work.
Festival films and a documentary about a friend who would not quit.
The far south, close to where the coast road ends.
Websites
Most of these belong to travel and hospitality businesses across Costa Rica; a few are my own experiments. Almost every client here has stayed on with me for years after launch.
Ongoing digital partner
One of Costa Rica’s top resorts. I handle SEO, email marketing, social content, and site updates, season after season.

Build and maintain
A large villa rental platform: dozens of listings, dynamic pricing, and a steady stream of booking inquiries.

Full redesign
One of Costa Rica’s first eco-lodges. The redesign leads with the wildlife and the lodge’s history instead of a booking engine.

Design and build
High-end sport fishing charters out of Quepos. Built for quick bookings from people already dreaming about the water.

Tour company site with daily departures, multi-day packages, and custom booking forms.

Redesign in progress for this hot springs resort near Arenal. Cleaner navigation, built for phones first.

Custom nature tours across the country. I helped build a site where travelers can browse itineraries and book without friction.
A private chef in Costa Rica. Bold look, signature dishes, and a direct line to the chef.

Portfolio site for a musician and producer: streaming links, live reels, contact.
Villa rental site built to match the property: big galleries, a simple inquiry form, and a guide to the area.
Films and video
Documentaries, festival films, live music, and commercial work. Shot, edited, and often scored in-house.

A short documentary about Scotti Trinler, founder of Costa Canyoning, and his return to the canyon after losing his leg in a motorcycle accident. We shot it, edited it, and composed the music.

One minute of grit, humor, and determination. The tone-setter for the full film.

Three days of festival in Uvita cut into four minutes of energy, color, and community.

Shot on location at Reggae Fest in Puntarenas. Raw and immersive, like the band.

Captured in the moment at Best Fest with minimal edits.

A cinematic walkthrough of a modern tropical bungalow, rendered and edited under my Prizm Vizual brand.

Fully produced bilingual infomercial, from script to Spanish voiceover.
Side quests
Not everything I make is for a client. These are the projects that keep things interesting.

Archviz and 3D
Architectural visualizations, 3D renders, and VR walkthroughs built in Unreal Engine. My growing collection of interactive environments.

Brand invention
An irreverent hot sauce brand I dreamed up: flavors, names, and characters included. Currently looking for investors brave enough to launch it.

Hospitality consulting
Revenue management, marketing strategy, and back-end support for hotels and tourism businesses across Costa Rica.
Travel consulting
Costa Rica Travel Consultants: a personal project for curated travel planning, with custom itineraries and local knowledge.
