Today we talk to Dr. Chadden Hunter, an Australian wildlife biologist and filmmaker. After completing a PhD on gel-ada baboons in Ethiopia, Chadden worked with National Geographic and Discovery Channel, filming everything from tribal ceremonies in Africa to snow leopards in Pakistan. On the BBC series “Planet Earth” he became known as ‘the guy covered in bat poop’, and whilst filming arctic wolves for “Frozen Planet” learnt that minus 40C was cold enough to freeze his eyes shut. His credits include Producer/Director on “Planet Earth 2” and “Seven Worlds-One Planet”. Co-Series Producer of BBC’s “Wild Arabia” and National Geographic’s “Cliffhangers”. Principal Director of “the “Frozen Planet” series. Collectively, the series he has worked on have won 12 Emmys and 8 Baftas. He is also the winner of the Best Film/Documentary this year in our own SCINEMA International Science Film Festival. Today’s interview is hosted by Cosmos journalist Dr Deborah Devis.
