Director Statement

ecosphere harnesses emerging technology at the fringe of capture and headset playback capabilities to bring viewers the natural world in unprecedented quality. Showcasing inspirational conservation efforts from across the globe, ecosphere focuses on celebrating diversity and bringing the voices of the incredible humans on the forefront of activism and conservation to the surface.

It has been an honour to direct a project that, I believe, uses technology to take a big step forward in the direction of connection, compassion and empathy. And where one foot once fell, we hope many will follow and we can stand together with our planet and its wildlife as the custodians this world deserves.
