This episode is all about the chase! Chasing opportunities to film the world’s rarest animals; chasing dreams without a fallback plan; and chasing solutions to equipment failure in remote locales. How do you film animals in pitch black environments? What kinds of animals make the best subjects for novice filmmakers? And what does it take to go from shooting zero-budget short films to crafting award-winning productions for National Geographic?
