Eulogy hanging on. Made it to the semi-finals of @Stage32 short film contest. Fingers crossed for the finals 🤞

Virtual Eulogy playing virtually at the virtual New Renaissance Film Festival! #shortfilm #filmfestival #everythingisvirtualnow

A film doesn’t exist until it’s seen (or at least the trailer’s released). EULOGY - a short film I wrote and directed - begins life with a year of festival runs. This film was made possible by the generosity of so… instagram.com/p/CC512OlAcGv/…

Unfortunately a common sight adjacent to Australia’s national parks. Here, 10+ of our native dingoes hang less than 2km from the @UNESCO Blue Mountains World Heritage Area.

For all my wildlife TV friends: putting the call out for researchers for a month’s work, with another month to possibly follow. Work from home on a large landmark series. Some experience in the genre required. CVs to mateowillis@gmail.com. Thanks!

Proud to have directed this spot for @Battersea_ with @FCBinferno and Annex Films. Love the spirit in these animals!

@billmarkham99 If it has a twist at one end it's probably a leopard. Then deformed, probably stepped on once deposited. And that is another rocking Sunday-morning conversation on Twitter.

Scat quiz. From the Swazi highlands (Malolotja Nature Reserve). Baboons seen nearby but v large for one of them. And containing hair. Barely any cover around... could it be leopard?? Or something else?

This man might know a thing or two about Mountains. The masterful @jimmychin of Free Solo acclaim. At the National Geographic showcase. .#hostileplanet #freesolo #beargrylls #climbing #tvacademy #nationalgeographichannel #hollywood #thegreek

Love a good body of work. The reception at Ridley Scott Associates.

Never been so scared and excited. One of my favourite sequences in Mountains - #HostilePlanet. 12 months of planning went into two days of filming. And it paid off big time! #nationalgeographicchannel

Plenty of water, warmth, and light provide perfect conditions for life to thrive in the jungles. #HostilePlanet

Coral reefs cover less than 1% of the ocean floor but support about 25% of all marine life. When stressed by temperature change, corals expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing coral bleaching that can kill the colony if stress is not mitigated. #HostilePlanet

How much kit does it take to film a calving glacier for @ourplanet ? This much. 1 x helicopter, 500kg of gear, 1 x excellent pilot. With @sophie_lanfear @byjamiemcpherson #shareourplanet #wwf #climatechange #icecap #greenland #davidattenborough

The ugly duckling. Not all are beautiful. A wandering albatross before fledging. By this stage the chicks are larger than the adults. Incredibly they have no fear of humans. If only every… instagram.com/p/Bv311-XAshB/…
