Wildscreen 2024

Wildscreen 2024 was a whirlwind. Leaving me with a big need to sleep and get rid of the delightful cold I caught there from a solid week of chatting to friends and colleagues I dont often get to see unless we are away on a shoot together. Some lovely new faces are now familiar for the underwater family tree.

The industry is certainly in a quiet period, but enough people are being proactive and diversifying in order to keep afloat.

The beautiful Billy and Molly ( an otter love story) finally got its UK screening and plenty of other fascinating talks went on throughout the festival.

I was asked to talk on the Extremes panel with a stellar line up of Erin Ranney, Alex Walters and Luke Nelson. Nerve wracking, but fun. I learnt alot and shared fun aecdotes from the field with my panel mates. We hope the audience enjoyed it.

A big thanks to RED for a great in person REDucation class. I have done a remote one before, but it was great to meet everyone in person and poke around some of the new cameras I havent had my hands on before.

Hopefully the industry is in a better state by the time 2026 rolls around. It was lovely to see everyone.
