Silent Kingdom is a short film that deals with the ever-increasing rate of species extinction, global warming and other issues that are destroying our planet.

As a nature and wildlife filmmaker, it’s important for me to make people aware of what’s going on with our planet and its inhabitants.

For me it’s where all my years of shooting video pay off. If I can get just one person to start thinking differently about our world then I feel I’ve done my job.

When shooting a short film such as Silent Kingdom it’s not only important to create visually interesting imagery but also to put your heart into it as well. If you don’t feel the passion yourself, how can you translate that to your film and make other people feel passionate as well?


And as always, shoot the ordinary and make it extraordinary!
