I'm done waiting. Here's what's next.

Описание: This past year has been one of the hardest of my wildlife filmmaking career. I’ve only worked six days in wildlife TV, my big project for 2026 has just disappeared and the entire media industry is undergoing seismic shifts.

In this video, I’m being completely honest about what’s been going on, not just with my own work, but with wildlife TV as a whole. It’s been a shockingly difficult time for so many talented people. Commissions have dried up, production companies are shutting down, and friends are leaving the industry…

But this isn’t a video about giving up. It’s about what comes next.

After a year of waiting for email replies that never came, and feeling hopeful about shoots that vanish and then becoming completely stuck… I’m finally taking my own advice.

I’m going back to what I love most. Getting outside, filming wildlife, telling stories, and helping others learn to do the same.

If you’ve ever dreamed of making wildlife films, improving your storytelling, or simply reconnecting with nature through a lens, I’d love you to join me for what’s coming next.

Let me know what topics you want me to cover, what questions you have, and what stories you want to tell. This next chapter is something I want to build with you.

Thank you so much for being here.
