PRODUCTION REEL
ABOUT
Hi, my name is Katie Garrett and I love telling stories using my camera. I also really like frogs and snakes.
I am a director and producer of natural history films that combine intimate close-up cinematography with personal stories from people living and working alongside nature. I have produced films for organisations such as National Geographic, Science Friday, Amphibian and Reptile Conservation Trust, bioGraphic and 60 Second Docs. I have licensed footage of endangered frogs to the BBC and PBS and my footage has been narrated by Sir David Attenborough.
My work has been shown at festivals and won awards around the world, including winning the New York Wild Film Festival’s ‘Best Short’ category in 2023 and the Jackson Wild Media Awards ‘Science in Nature’ category in 2021. The latter was awarded for an episode of Breakthrough: Portraits of Women in Science which I produced for Science Friday.
Bio:
I studied Natural Sciences at Durham University and went on to work as a research assistant at The Natural History Museum in London (some things I did there include editing a book on Snakes, and finding new frogs in Cameroon). I began filming while travelling with my brother and in 2012 we established a video production partnership - Garrett and Garrett. Since then I have been pursuing my passion in science communication and general appreciation of the natural world, with a particular focus on reptiles and amphibians. I also spend some of my time trying to help the wonderful people at HARCC save frogs from extinction.
