We are Yaz and Jack, award-winning wildlife filmmakers and cinematographers based in Vienna. We founded Dream Wild Films to create beautiful and important films, showing how wildlife is challenged by and adapts to our increasingly urban planet. 

​

We are experienced at all aspects of the wildlife filmmaking process from development, writing, cinematography and editing. We specialise in filming the secret lives of urban wildlife. We are currently working on ‘Wild Hollywood’ for RAN Film, ORF Universum, Doclights and Arte. After filming throughout LA in 2025, we are now editing and directing this natural history documentary which will be due to air in late 2026. 

​

In 2024, we wrapped on filming for ‘Wild Vienna’ for Terra Mater Studios. After over two years of filming unique animal behaviour sequences in Vienna, the documentary aired on Servus TV in November 2024 and revealed just how biodiverse the city is - a home to wild hamsters, ground squirrels, long-eared owls and beavers.

​

We have created multiple short wildlife films awarded by Jackson Wild, United Nations’ World Wildlife Day, National Geographic’s Wild Pitch, Green Screen and Innsbruck Nature Film Festival. ‘Beavers About Town’ follows a family of beavers as they navigate life in the middle of Vienna. ‘Marmots on Toast’ shows the perils marmots face when they become a tourist attraction. We collaborated with Wiener Wildnis to create ‘A River’s Revival’ for Stadt Wien, telling the remarkable story of a river that has been rewilded over the last thirty years. 

​

Our latest short film ‘For Deer Life’ tells the story of the dedicated fawn rescuers in Tirol, who put their heart and soul into saving the lives of as many deer fawns as possible. This film will be available to watch soon, and was the winner of Jackson Wild x My World Film Grant, who made creating this film possible.
