PROJECTS
In Search of The Grey (2024)
Two years ago, in the alpine pastures of Australia’s Snowy Mountains, an unusual friendship formed between a wildlife filmmaker and a wild stallion, known locally as a Brumby. But it seems the Brumby is no longer welcome in his homeland, and his life is now in peril. An expedition is being launched to trek into the vast and rugged Australian Snowies in search of this elusive Brumby to reunite these two friends before it’s too late.
The Grey is Remy's next film releasing in October 2024. This is a special project being produced in educational collaboration with the BBC NHU and is a personal venture for Remy, exploring his relationship with Australia's Snowy Mountains and the famous Kosciuszko Brumbies, and one unique Brumby in particular. Remy's excited to showcase Australia's only alpine landscape, dusted with snow capped mountains and home to some of Australia's most charismatic animals.
Brumbies of Kosciuszko (2022)
The Brumbies of Kosciuszko have worked their way into Australian culture. They personify the wilderness of the Australian alpine landscape, where they’ve made their home, and have even been celebrated in Australia’s recent folklore in Banjo Paterson’s “The Man from Snowy River” (1895).
This film was one of Remy's earliest projects and was produced entirely independently on simple, budget-friendly kit. It was met with incredible support from the Australian and international community with over 135K views online and multiple international film festival nominations. He wanted to create a gentle and peaceful piece showcasing the famous wild horses in the alpine pastures of the snowy mountains, without pushing a strong political statement in either direction. The brumbies in Kosciuszko National Park are consistently a topic of conversation in Australia as they are the most culturally significant brumbies, but not native, and they live in Australia's only alpine ecosystem which is incredibly unique and fragile.
Urban Wildlife series (2023)
Urban Wildlife showcases the wildlife you can experience directly beside your homes! Often when we think of seeing or experiencing wildlife, we think of the great outdoors, the wild and rugged mountains and untamed forests, and we neglect the animals living their own wild lives right in our neighbourhoods. This four part series focuses on four local habitats, ponds, streams, parks and lochs (lakes), and a primary species in that area that you can expect to encounter.
Drama can unfold at any moment, and even though they live within the city limits their lives are always subject to the unpredictability of the wild! Urban Wildlife was made as a reminder to all of us that our local areas are a prolific source of wildlife and nature, and that it doesn’t take great expense, effort or expertise to encounter it first hand!
Urban Wildlife was Remy's first series and was produced entirely independently by Remy in Scotland, UK.
Break A Leg (2024)
The story of a young woman, driven to prove that a traumatic injury won’t prevent her from accomplishing her dream of completing a 21km half marathon. However, after a long recovery and not long into her training her injury starts to take its toll, enough to sow doubt in her mind as to whether or not it will get her across the finish line.
Will her self described stubbornness and determination be enough to propel her across the finish line? Or will the injury prove too great and bring her to her knees before the end?
Break A Leg was Remy's first step out of wildlife filmmaking and into a human story within a heavily urbanised environment. It allowed him more wiggle room for creativity and narrative planning which he thoroughly enjoyed, and he looks forward to creating more wildlife films with human led stories woven between.
Upstream (2023)
Upstream travels from the bottom of the river, and heads up to the origin of the glacial fed lakes in Iceland, to the mighty glaciers themselves! It starts at the lakes at the mouth of the river, and winds its way up past streams, rivers, and colossal waterfalls amongst the rugged Icelandic landscape.
"I was travelling in Iceland in December 2022 without a particular short film or documentary in mind, so I was mostly just appreciating the awesome landscape and the incredible diversity that it had to offer. Over just one week I was able to experience everything from crystal clear coastlines, freezing and windy waterfalls and the immense presence of a fracturing glacier. It wasn't until the end of my trip visiting the melting glacier with the glacial lagoon that fed into a small river, that the idea to piece together a short story from the lake to the glacier was conceived." - Remy
Upstream showcases some truly epic and cinematic landscapes that are found almost nowhere else on the planet and shows off the versatility and application of drones.
