Mayur Kamath

I am an Polymer Enginner by academics, ventured into wildlife rescue and rehabilitation, crossed over my profession with plastics to wildlife conservation. Developed interest in wildlife photography and managed to lay my hands on a DSLR camera at the age of 26 to pursue wildlife photography. Slowly got inclined to filmmaking and explorations. Started travelling places making small conservation films fo children. I was selected for a documentary film making contest on Animal planet channel, Unearthed in 2006. Trained in South Africa to make wildlife films and documentaries under the guidance of presenter Lyndal Davies, I nurtured the art of wildlife films and decided to make it as full time career after I won an international award for my short film “Hope”. The entire process included choosing 8 individuals from 32,000 applications around the globe, training us to make wildlife films and then make a 3 minute film. The best experience I ever had, to change my life completely.
