BBC wildlife filmmaker and producer — Frozen Planet, Planet Earth — on adventure, science and the long quiet work of capturing the natural world.
Dr Chadden Hunter is one of the most experienced Australian wildlife filmmakers working in international natural-history television — a long career inside the BBC Natural History Unit producing flagship series including Planet Earth, Frozen Planet and a string of award-winning documentaries. The work has put him in some of the most remote environments on earth, sometimes for months at a time.
His speaking weaves the lived reality of those expeditions with substantive content on team leadership, preparation, decision-making in conditions where mistakes have consequences, and the craft of storytelling for a global audience. The visual material is striking and the content underneath is substantive.
For event organisers, Chadden is a strong fit for leadership conferences, education programs, sustainability events and in-house audiences where the brief is to combine extraordinary visual content with substantive thinking on teams, preparation and the long-form work of high-quality output.
