About The Wild Film Collective
The Wild Film Collective is a production company that does things a little differently.
We believe:
The distance between local storytellers and the audience should be as short as possible;
That talent grows everywhere and should be empowered and rewarded equally;
And that filming the Earth doesn't have to cost the Earth - both financially and literally.
We use the same talented teams as acclaimed shows like Planet Earth, Frozen Planet, and Blue Planet but with our decentralized structure we're minimizing travel, decreasing turnaround times and keeping "money-on-screen" for incredible cinematic storytelling.
Our Founders
Sam Hume
Sam has spent two decades producing award-winning wildlife films for broadcasters like the BBC, National Geographic, and AppleTV+. Always innovating in a digital landscape, Sam helped launch the BBC's first original YouTube channel, created virtual reality experiences (including meeting a giant dinosaur with Sir David Attenborough), and once created a multi-camera OB gallery from a backpack in remote Sumatra. He's got a long list of talented crew on every continent ready to shoot tomorrow!
