BUCK AND ESTHER TEAM UP TO
EXPLORE WOLF ENCOUNTER BEHAVIOR
After weeks in the wild, we love to celebrate with a cold draught and good fresh food….
We met on the Alaska Peninsula while focusing on the more commonly seen brown bears. Wolves howling outside our tents at night led to the idea of documenting their lives too. Buck decided to tell the story of Alaska Coastal wolves himself. Then Esther accepted to coproduce and the on-camera role hoping to see her first wolf in the wilderness.
Buck Wilde, Director and Alaska Wildlife Expert
David Attenborough dubbed him Bear Whisperer in this BBC docu-mentary. He’s worked in the making of over 20 documentaries about bears and is featured in BBC’s two-part epic, Great Bear Stake-out. Buck recently developed the screenplay and led the film crew for National Geographic’s Queens (re grizzly mothers). His dramatic bear fight footage is featured in National Geographic’s Grizzly Empire.
