Not All Those Who Wander Trailer!!!!!!!
UWE 12 Min Final Film Announcement.
My final film as apart of the University of the West of England Wildlife Filmmaking Masters Program is due for release on the 19th of October 2023 at the Arnolfini Theater in Bristol England.
In "Not All Those Who Wander," Michael Pierson, an Oceanic Society naturalist based in San Francisco, embarks on a singular mission: to find Morris, the only northern gannet in the Pacific. Totally isolated from his nearest relatives, Morris has vanished in the aftermath of severe winter storms.
Michael, a gay man disowned by his family due to his sexual orientation, shares a deep, unspoken connection with Morris - both are far from their original homes, and Michael sees his own resilience reflected in Morris's struggle to adapt to an unfamiliar and isolating environment.
Through this captivating narrative, "Not All Who Wander" explores the unique bond between a man and a bird, offering a moving testament to the powerful connection between nature and the human spirit.
With cinematography that captures the breathtaking Northern Californian coast, and an emotionally charged storyline, the film showcases the unwavering determination of a man who sees himself in an unlikely feathered friend and who ultimately finds solace in the notion that, indeed, not all those who wander…are lost.
Red Skies
My first film as part of UWE’s MA Wildlife Filmmaking Program. How one farm in Central Wales is responsible for saving an entire species, and what the owners recent step back from the project means for the future of the farm and for the animals they saved.
Orcas Hunting at the Farallon Islands
One of my last trips with Oceanic Society I was lucky enough to witness and capture a pod of transient orcas hunting a group of California Sea lions. This is my single favorite sighting during my time at the Islands and feel incredibly lucky to have had the opportunity to capture it on video.
