Access, logistics and delivery
Bree works in environments where access is earned, logistics are complex and outcomes matter. Her experience spans cross border wildlife relocations, sensitive negotiations, regulatory processes and filming in high pressure conditions where planning, ethics and safety are non negotiable.
Each project is approached with a clear production framework, from development and permissions through to delivery, ensuring stories are captured responsibly and completed to broadcast standard. This depth of experience underpins her ability to deliver ambitious documentary projects on time and within scope.
Observational documentary with real world stakes
Bree’s work is grounded in observational documentary storytelling, prioritising character, access and accuracy over narration or contrivance. Her films sit at the intersection of people, animals and systems under pressure, allowing stories to unfold naturally while maintaining strong narrative structure.
She is the creator of the internationally broadcast series Extreme Animal Transport and co creator of Saving the Wild, with both projects establishing a track record in factual production that balances scale, sensitivity and audience engagement.
Wildlife across borders
Bree specialises in stories that explore wildlife conservation, human responsibility and the systems that govern animal movement across borders. Her work focuses on moments where policy, logistics and ethics collide, often revealing broader questions about conservation, risk and accountability.
She is currently developing and financing her next documentary project, expanding on this focus through a new wildlife relocation film designed for international audiences and impact focused partners.
