( You do not have to be a professional working in the television / film / photographic orientated industries to become a member of the Wildlife Film Network )
Whilst we happily welcome memberships from professionals, the WFN network is also heavily geared towards getting members who are already working in the production industry (but not necessarily in wildlife) as well as members that are not working in any form of wildlife production or wildlife orientated organisation; to be able to gain more experience and learn new practical skills in whatever area of ‘the world of wildlife’ they wish to work in. Whether it be it be camerawork, script writing, logistics, studying one of the specialist scientific subjects or generally working in a conservation capacity as a volunteer.
The Wildlife Film Network is here to help you advertise your skills and interests to the world (via this website) whilst further developing your fundamental ‘contacts list’ (via face-to-face networking meetings); and giving you the opportunity to become involved in collaborative productions of wildlife television documentaries and films that the WFM members will themselves be producing (via the WFN’s in-house production company).
