Documentary & Natural History Filmmaking
Video showcase for Russell Clark - Director, Writer, Editor, Videographer
Storyteller
Filmmaking is the ultimate way for me to tell other people's stories. There's something inherently interesting to me about showing a person's relationship or experience with wildlife or a specific environment.
I am a Director, writer, producer, videographer, designer, diver, and editor. I am a Jack of all trades, and proud of it. My diverse background through print, digital, and TV has made me be a better filmmaker, and there's plenty more stories I want to tell.

Filmmaking
Russell's focus and passion is creating compelling and genuine films. He works on his own or with other people, combining underwater, aerial, and topside video into original and engaging films, often with a wildlife or natural history element, and sometimes called Minimentaries. Filmmaking is one of the most powerful and creative mediums in the world, with its challenge being the biggest reward.

He also pioneered digital magazines in London - with a small group of colleagues a decade ago. Russell has Art Directed awarding winning titles for David Attenborough, Disney, and Dennis Publishing. He was an Adobe Ambassador, and is the current the Editor of DIVER magazine in Canada.

Photography
