THE ART OF WILDLIFE STORYTELLING
A talk about the science, imagery, and adventure behind nature documentaries
About Me
I’m Oscar Cusó, a wildlife documentary shoot director for the BBC, with experience in projects for National Geographic, Amazon Prime, and Netflix. I have worked alongside Sir David Attenborough and contributed to productions such as Wild Babies (Emmy winner) and The Americas.
I have filmed in the most extreme environments on Earth—from the tropical glaciers of the Andes to the heart of the Amazon—tracking jaguars, spectacled bears, and frogs that can freeze and come back to life. But behind every image lies a story of epic expeditions, unexpected challenges, and a unique connection with nature.
