Filmmaker turns lockdown into a doorstep discovery

Stepping out – socially distanced of course – in pairs, families or for a solo journey embarking on that government–permitted once-a-day form of exercise, have you considered what is waiting to be discovered, much closer to your doorstep than you might think.

Unlocking Potential client and an award-winning filmmaker, Nina Constable, has created and launched the first episode of WILD WORLD: DOORSTEP DISCOVERIES.

Nina said:

An amazing community of filmmakers, wildlife fanatics and nature nerds have all come together to bring the best of British Wildlife to us whilst we stay at home. In this first episode Nick Baker, Billy Heaney, Lucy Hodson and Gillian Burke bring us bugs, badgers and birdsong!

Nina took part in both the Breakthrough and Future Focus programmes. Reflecting on how her business has grown over the last few years following the support from Unlocking Potential, she said:

I’ve been flat out! I have had some amazing commissions. The biggest was a six–part series for WWF called ‘Journey to the Sea’. I’ve also contributed to several BBC series, appeared on Countryfile and had footage purchased by Channel 4, ITV and Channel 5 and have been featured in BBC Wildlife Magazine. I’ve continued working for NGO’s producing a brand–new film for Butterfly Conservation released at the beginning of this year and I have been working on films for Cornwall Wildlife Trusts among others.

Wild World: Doorstep Discoveries is aired weekly on Nina’s YouTube channel.
