About Alan Lacy

Filmmaker. Conservationist. Storyteller.

For me, filmmaking is more than just capturing the wild—it’s about revealing untold stories that inspire action. As the Executive Director of Reel Earth Films, I’ve dedicated my career to creating impactful wildlife documentaries that bridge the gap between storytelling and conservation.

My work has taken me to some of the most remote and breathtaking corners of the world, collaborating with global powerhouses like BBC, National Geographic, Disney+, PBS Nature, and more. From tracking elusive predators to documenting fragile ecosystems, I specialize in bringing nature’s most compelling narratives to life.

Through Filming The Wild, I pull back the curtain on the wildlife filmmaking process—sharing behind-the-scenes experiences, expert insights, and the raw beauty of nature. Whether you’re here to learn, be inspired, or support conservation-driven storytelling, you’re in the right place.

Join the adventure. Let’s make an impact, one story at a time.
