Wildlife documentaries represent a powerful tool to raise awareness about the plight of the worlds wildlife and passion for conservation in audiences. I have had the genuine privilege of contributing to over 50 hours of shark and wildlife documentaries as a producer, host, researcher, fixer and camera operator.
My experience enables me to contribute as a producer and/or director for wildlife and marine documentaries. Many of the most successful shows I have worked on resulted from strategic co-production partnerships with established producers and production houses.
