Natural-history filmmaking brings audiences into environments, ecosystems, and moments they might never otherwise experience. Behind every story is a team of filmmakers and cinematographers working to capture the detail, behavior, and beauty of the natural world as it unfolds.
Jackson Wild recognizes the creativity and craft behind these productions, celebrating the filmmakers who continue to push the art of natural-world storytelling forward.
We’re proud to see RED cameras used across so many of these productions and to support the teams whose work has been recognized among this year’s Jackson Wild Media Award nominees.
