Coming from an Israeli who voted for him in 2009. Amen! May he spend the rest of his days locked up.

Just returned from working on a new documentary in Mexico.

I feel like this is going to end up being one of the wildest projects I've worked on.

Here's so shots from behind the scenes.

Big Sky Country. πŸŒ„

The film I directed in Montana was so remote we couldn’t drive in. It took a two hour horseback ride to reach it.

A first for me and my DP Tom (pictured here, rocking a gas-station cowboy hat).

Stepping out of your comfort zone isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it.

Just got back from filming a project in the Montana wilderness over the span of a week.

We ate the fish we caught, bathed in rivers, and got around on the horses.

I love the mountains.

Some behind the scenes of my film Pathfinder - Life Beyond Fear

We we're the 1st in the world to have captured footage of slackliners walking underneath the Northern Lights.

Different fields, different moods.
Same land. Different skies. Each frame its own weathered chapter.

I’m still not as cool as Serengeti guy. But I’m telling stories that matter. Out in the wild. Doing the work I once dreamed of.
Maybe I’m on the right path. And maybe, just maybe, I’ve earned 10% of the cool.

I never forgot that moment.
This year and last, I had the surreal honor of filming for Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom (now Protecting the Wild)β€”one of TV’s longest-running nature shows.

I wanted to ask him, β€œHow do you get to do this?” But I stayed silent. Out of respectβ€”or maybe because I was holding a humble 1DX II with a 70–200, and he looked like he filmed for the BBC.

On the roof sat a guy who, in my eyes, was the coolest human alive. Quiet confidence. Cigarette in hand. A camera rig that probably cost more than his truck. He waited for the cheetah to stir.

In 2017, early in my career, I was sent to Tanzania to shoot a short adventure film in the Serengeti. While crossing the plains, my guide spotted a cheetah and parked beside a rugged vehicle with a sign: β€œFILMING – DO NOT FOLLOW.”

Faces of the Achuar:
Tucked deep within the Amazon rainforest along the Ecuador–Peru border, the Achuar are known as the Dream People of the Amazon. To this day, they honor their ancestral tradition of interpreting dreams in sacred ceremonies held each morning before dawn.

Thank you. I've been chasing them for a while now. Always such a mind blowing sight to see
