His recent work includes Netflix’s Dancing with the Birds and Our Planet. He is also the director and director of photography of the critically acclaimed DisneyNature epic Crimson Wing: Mystery of the Flamingos.
Through Birds of America: How Birds Save Us, he seeks not only to produce stunning imagery that inspires viewers to love birds and seek their protection, but to create a visual - and visceral - record of America’s birds before they further diminish or go extinct.
"To me there are no scenes in wildlife filming as uplifting as those of birds in flight – they are forms of perfection independent of us, they are more than us, grander, more beautiful, stronger. Each bird has a profoundly individual experience of its own life, and that life is much more than mere instinct. Whether I’m watching a flock of Sandhill Cranes on the Platte River or a Wood Thrush in the forest cover, I’m both humbled and awed.
I believe that as a filmmaker I can help audiences feel this way, and if they can connect to the birds, they will act for their preservation - not for our own selfish delight in them - but because we understand their right to prevail upon this earth."
