although a good morning so much like a lot if you I grew up in a bustling Indian city added it is and always has been able and we live in a regular building on the trust floor apartment like a lot of other well you're driving to school that's a very normal regular bingo the bidding %HESITATION and lifted Norman life policy except that my life or movies
ever since childhood obesity and the other than everybody and what about four years old I ask my mother for a bill she said no so I think what did not some reason she said OP so what friends to take that box for a walk on a leash to the cloud might and if you can see that up at right on up yeah okay so that was
just the beginning of the lunacy alright next year yeah because I almost insidious sneaked onto my bed instructional apartment into up what can only be described as a fully functioning farm these are sort of animals I had living inside the fact and yet because of the numbers yeah so you know episode from friends with the chick and the duck that did impress me at all yeah
yeah yeah yeah is me after school it all live region greeting me once again Michael and now that's a goal that was trying to bring back from a holiday in north England that's when my parents you need to the line the top %HESITATION much to the disapproval of based on who the parties I became a child actor and Delgado so not part of my childhood was
also spent on that that's right and not within a month so when that time came in life and I have to decide what they want to do with my life I decided to put my two favorite things together opens and animal and in fact it can be declared that I was going to be a wildlife and make up and that this is shit I basically gave
up everything that's what Steve Boone there you're all it's a group and mentioned the and number headlong into a life of he lost but I'm imagine a group of women now most of us live life on autopilot this because it's easy to exist in neat little boxes yeah it's living life we met life live us instead of doing things you let things be done to us
but you really want to be going through life doing not without without actually engaging in something that big also caused the accident about and I will call one another do you want to be waking up every day at first thing in the morning brushing your teeth checking the news update much but that does and then rushing off to what coming back home and having the Jing
growing middle age at some point you might want to stop and ask us that what you did with your life but you won't have time to wait for that on so because you know you have another meeting the next before you know you're sixty five it's time to get out so stone in life and I sat on my pillows beginning to join that Iraqis excess getting
shots of getting rich that monitor probably thinking the boxes that they didn't really want to be taking I chose to pack a backpack and disappear to Africa now why is this starting point of it all and for me that's where it all started and you know it's all very well to be talking about actions and things like that but if they make a looking at some
of the most amazing creatures on the planet seems amazing and populist but there are huge challenges that come with this kind of a joke Africa taught me to do that's where the challenges you started with the judge nature of the job that just to give you an example of an average different my life and make a stop before the sun is even because under right you
have to be on location by the time the night even starts coming in so what do you got to wake up to the last person to go to sleep even between one pot all you're doing is really starting a gratis I do Bentley spent most of my career so far standing and not isn't that why it I you waiting patiently for that wonderful magic moments but
those magic moments come on you're not base plus a year and an immense about %HESITATION amount of mental and physical and your but to be honest when you re-attempt China has done really matter so much just under the skin and other reasons that yeah just let me well meaning people announce a bedtime thought that medical African Johnny was just another number two hundred and that it
wasn't easy for me to take the subsidies not to beat you and does that you know this is you know this is all very wonderful that you've taken a got beyond disappear to places that look like that but that's somewhere but should be on the road I mean you're young and in good fun you could just disappear to be space it's unsafe to be in these
kind of place is this not a conventional job it's very nice to it as a hobby but it's really not I mean something that's a job that looks like not not possibly be giving you stability so do it topic dig something up most serious the common law I'll think about it people the money mission of lost and so on it looks like the most serious job
but and what time zone I sensed my it was seen a nice implements probably you know that everybody was doing that and I was wondering should I really be you're not is this the right choice opened in Africa which one it was the last soldier you know past seated on it it was the fuss deciding factor how do you tell your son in law meet me
at the moment just do your own she thought she air and often she thought I happen to on my journey both of the softening and I spend two weeks with them this is not affecting this is the real story of what she thought that lost my mother when she was very young and was rescued by a couple of people and she's left I can't with these
guys take a sin I'm just having befriended time spent two weeks with all that's in a nice pretty much what we do is when you have moments like this how can you done back on your life how can you not go ahead with it yeah things are even harder because in the beginning again when you're a woman doing something unconventional not what women are supposed to
be doing doesn't not of skepticism does a lot of disbelief and that was when I was facing you know when people with their youngest you're what you're one lesson make okay I'll see you speak for itself even I didn't book because there were times I would be showing people the what I had done things I had shot you have to do this did you actually shoot
this did you operate the camera and I was like getting my head out but you can defer it so stuff like that happened and it carried on and carried on and yeah what time this man yeah some of them with ideas I can get funding there well mission issues that didn't happen so when you ask like you you might wonder why didn't stick with it despite
or not dissenting voices why did I stick it I stuck with it because of what I sold the more I chanted the more I realized how beautiful and sad time or these how that up leases that we don't even know exist I'm not I'm not very own backyard my biggest problem was indifference why us modern life indifference to the planet and that's why I started making
things that were not even at people who are getting enough money to people who are getting kind words watching Animal Planet watching discovery and meet them with people who wanted to be bothered whether you know get through it over to some that's not something that they're not just not attending stories that would engage them more than anything and since I'm the Cambrian some of them didn't
like I said the why does sometimes they got the funding to make them but there were stories every band that's what kept me going and in between all those things there are lots and lots of moments where you feel like giving up but then again there were those amazing magic moments like this one time in our town when %HESITATION you didn't decide to %HESITATION become a
bit too friendly sit on my camera and to second the polite smile Nnamdi five be on the menu like Paul Newman then looked so we do not do that ow ow that's just like sitting on the five be on the menu click on the men's so we need to not do that ow ow it was either die where I was filming ideas and bacteria but it
would beat me as soon as it was out of the eight is a very cute moment and it was also a time when I could call the interview the penguin this isn't the thought of being no I'm sorry can you know yeah but the turning point in my career yeah when I went to New Zealand to do my post graduation in science and not for just
you from making I don't think that it was a massive house of the good also one of the prerequisites of the cost but like tough getting in was harder to books when we're not of interviews and all kinds of other things sent him to look funding but it's an expense also I took my for scholarships in the amount of work that goes into that he got
a wife look for you before you even start to bring up was graduation yeah but finally got in that and then it was the most incredible experience because I learned the craft of filmmaking and all of that and finally it was time for me to make my prostate real soon and when I see big growth and I mean that my budget was it hundred both if
he doesn't I was even eight hundred dollars very generous and said now make a thin Brian white to see an opportunity in this limited amount of money online you this is what I thought this is what it you know but I have got to do the very best with what is available it's like searching and searching for ideas until I found a beautiful little story so
that's one hundred twenty five possible pirates in the world and the only one this site this island up on what fish island in the Pacific Ocean about it says is an amazing conservation story but what's even more amazing is one among these hundred and twenty five talk about it convinced he's a human being it's never Sir Rocco and he's an absolute superstar New Zealand because he's
an absolute character it is very adorable they look like look like something between a prob be up in the mix of trust between a teddy bear and a prodigy it's you know knocked on it and they don't lie and since our local %HESITATION Iraq's to riches story about his life how he became the superstar celebrities the only but in the one I'm the job I'm gonna
show you a little the poor and it's a sixty minute drive to his high five stock high security accommodation when he can finally dropped his got not human that Harris very brand I come it's a CNN because he's not so when I was making this documentary I didn't use the hapless like this cue outside was going I was doing it because I'm not doing it and
this little it isn't one degree nonstop it went on to be seen and eat the different countries in the world and this country chatting as part of the Jackson movement festival would look the best movies of two thousand fifty to seventy so the two hundred on the document I mean that's what I mean I just go for it when you're passionate about something and you give
it your best somehow that's going to I would think not it's been open not many other doors like opportunity the fast enough to Kate what realistic and as a I don't believe in good admonition to fit all the climax just last week I was working with my absolute number one hero pretty much taught me how to gene that acronyms that I was once you put them
in a contact you homies and not put so despite some it's not every time send you a lot going to if you're going to follow your passion there's going to be times when you're going to want to quit there's been times where I have spent I don't know what I'm doing a juvenile brightens I've run on empty and I have never almost never know what's coming
around the corner but the one thing that I've done is stuck it out I've stuck with it because when you stick with it you have what I call them as he mumbled and those are the defining moment because once you have those SGD no turning back that's nothing to be intimidated by all the setbacks that's hundred percent going to happen if you choose the karaoke choose
anything not even occur to any part of your life to follow something unconventional if you're chasing up because is that not a hundred percent going to happen the chickens to remember I mean those setbacks you're gonna have those amazing moments I'm probably going to have a lot more stories to tell and then a lot of other people on the line
