Welcome.

Restoring balance in Earth's ecosystems and people:
cinematography and workshops.

My focus is to weave a story of place and/or person, filmed on camera, edited then scored as beautifully and authentically as possible. Story-telling especially visually is age-old and universal. Pure scientific facts are important, but when we encapsulate that essence expressed creatively through beautiful important stories of place, connection and emotion, the result can be literally life- and planet-saving.

I script, shoot, direct, edit and produce cinematic films for ecology and natural sciences.

I guide expeditions.

I deliver environmental science and -education.

I deliver cinematic, film-making workshops.

Caring for Country. Cooling the planet naturally and safely. Bio-system regeneration. Regenerative agriculture. Catchment and natural resource management. Restoring hydrology. Restoration ecology. Reducing wildfire incidence. Cooling cities. Urban regreening.

We can restore, regenerate, repair and rebalance.

Stay cool.
