I love chatting with wildlife filmmakers. It's never the same & always reveals new discoveries.

This episode feels like it's been in the planning ever since Into The Wild began back in March 2020 because that's almost when I contacted this week's guest to ask her to be on the show. We both finally were able to pin a date in & I got the absolute pleasure to talk with assistant producer for Silverback Films, Tania Esteban.

Diving in to the style of Tania's filmmaking & what she loves most about making & watching documentaries to focusing on a short film Tania made & released during August & the Tokyo Olympics, The Guardians of Ikigai. This film is a beautiful mix of wildlife, culture & a sense of Japanese philosophy, which Tania dives beautifully into during this chat.
