Primal Earth Films

Founded in 2016, Primal Earth Films is a U.S.-registered production company with offices in both the United States and South Africa. We are a full-service in-house production company, utilizing cutting-edge technology in both production and post-production to deliver exceptional natural history content to a global audience.

 

We collaborate with leading international broadcasters, including PBS, National Geographic, Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, and Direct TV, to bring the natural world to life through compelling, cinematic storytelling.

 

While our South African office provides unique access to the continent’s largest wildlife reserves, our team operates globally—filming across all continents and covering a vast range of species and ecosystems, from polar extremes to deep oceans, tropical jungles, arid deserts, and beyond.

 

Primal Earth Films works in close partnership with a strategic European-based collaborator, allowing us to strengthen our global reach, streamline international productions, and expand creative and logistical capabilities across regions.

 

Our core team consists of highly experienced wildlife filmmakers, supported by a trusted international network of specialists. We scale production teams to meet the specific needs of each project, ensuring seamless execution and the highest production standards.

 

In addition to our original productions, we offer freelance crew hire and production services worldwide—equipped with state-of-the-art gear and deep field expertise.

 

From concept to final delivery, Primal Earth Films produces visually stunning, scientifically accurate, and emotionally resonant natural history documentaries—crafted to inform, inspire, and captivate audiences everywhere.
