Masterclass with Chadden Hunter

Shows like Planet Earth 2 and Blue Planet 2 capture the imagination of viewers around the world. But how do Attenborough’s film crew find their amazing wildlife stories? And what does it take to be an international wildlife filmmaker?

Join award-winning film producer, Dr. Chadden Hunter, as he takes us on a fascinating journey through the hidden secrets of wildlife filmmaking. From his zoological studies at UQ to his research years living ‘Gorillas in the Mist’ style amongst baboons in the Ethiopian highlands. Via scuba-diving underneath the Antarctic ice-cap, to having his cabin ripped apart by grizzly bears, Dr. Hunter reveals the behind-the-scenes stories that never make it to television. Along the way he’ll share hilarious anecdotes, never-before-seen footage and look at whether the Attenborough blockbusters actually do anything to help conservation. And what’s to stop the next one being made in Queensland?
