ABOUT
Me

Katie is the founder of Buddha and the Whale.

Aside from this work, she is a passionate conservationist and documentary shooting producer.

 

She is also a specialist camera operator trained in both Canopy heights and Underwater operating. Her aims are to build B&W into a place for the team to grow creatively, whilst using their passions to help educate and raise awareness of conservation and science.  

ABOUT
Me

Katie Duddy has been with Buddha and the Whale for the last year. 

Her work building our presence both online and at networking events has hugely increased our following.

 

She has a very respectable background in project and event management, which has proven invaluable for Buddha and the Whale. 

In the future, Katie aims to produce conservation films and projects.

ABOUT
Me

Justin Du-Pre works with Buddha and the Whale as a freelance editor and VFX artist. He has also joined us on location as a helping hand with assitant directing, often organising interviewees before shoots.

 

His long history in VFX and graphics, alongside his keen interest in conservation has helped us tremendously with branding and fundraising.

ABOUT
Me

Miles joined us back in 2018 after completely transforming our Bounce Back documentary with his sound design.

He is currently completing his studies at the National Film & Television School.

 

Despite having a distinct passion for wildlife documentaries, his impressive portfolio ranges from Cineworld commercials to award winning feature films.

 

ABOUT
Me

Fiona Wardle works as an international contact for us.

 

She is a distinctly talented underwater camera operator and has shot stunning production stills and GVs for our documentaries.

 

She works as a great fixer for New Zealand and Tonga. 

Me

Emile Gailly has worked with Buddha and the Whale on many of our long and short form content. He has edited large pieces for us both alone as well as with a post production team working alongside him. 

 

He has a great understanding of our visual aesthetic and works well with our production team when it comes to creative decisions.
