Joe Loncraine
Co-Series Director & Producer / Director
Joe has been working in factual television for 18 years, during which time he has produced and directed for some of the natural history TV industry’s most creative and innovative companies, including Silverback, Ammonite and Passion Planet. His work has won Emmy, Wildscreen and Jackson Hole awards as well as being nominated for BAFTA and Grierson awards.
Although in recent years he has focused on natural history programming, making films for the BBC, National Geographic, PBS and Discovery Channel, his career began in current affairs and observational documentary - he is definitely one of the few people to go all the way to Antarctica to make a film about a post office. This diverse range of experience, filming in places like the slums of Lagos or with isolated South American tribes, as well as with a variety of wildlife, has helped him to hone his approach to film making - striving for superb visuals while being driven by the characters and real stories of the natural world.
