Wild shots

Win a chance to become a wildlife filmmaker

Is your burning ambition to get up close and personal with the world’s most amazing animals? Do you dream of capturing nature’s raw beauty on film? In a unique television project, Animal Planet sets out to find the next great wildlife filmmaker.

The eight-part reality series “Unearthed: Film School Wild” will follow four contestants on an intensive training course as they learn the essential skills and realities of creating a natural history documentary. Industry experts and renowned wildlife filmmakers Lyndal Davies and Andrew Barron will guide the contestants through their tasks on the course.

The budding filmmakers and animal enthusiasts will carry out their challenges at the award-winning Shamwari Game Reserve in South Africa in July, competing to ultimately have their film chosen the winner.

An international panel of experts will judge the final documentaries at a gala dinner in South Africa, and the winner will have his or her film broadcast on Animal Planet in 160 countries throughout Europe, Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle East. Entries will be accepted from April 14 to May 19.

Applicants will be required to shoot a three-minute personal profile, which must be produced, shot and edited by the applicant with no outside assistance, delivered in a DVD format with your application form to Unearthed, C/o Animal Planet, 9/1B, Qutab Institutional Area, Aruna Asaf Ali Marg, New Delhi 110067.

You must be 18 years or older at the time of application, in possession of a passport valid until at least February 2009, responsible for their own entry visas into South Africa, willing to travel and be available for filming during July and August 2008 (or as otherwise scheduled by the producers).
