Wildlife Filmmakers
Richard and Sonia Muller make documentaries about wildlife, particularly dangerous animals, like the big cats
found in Africa. Film-making for them is a way to bring the message of the importance of understanding wildlife to
international audiences, with their last film, Staying Alive, exploring relationships between lions and other wildlife
in one African region. When Richard and Sonia were invited to help with a special project run by a wildlife
organization that was providing information about the falling numbers of big cats, especially lions, they
immediately agreed to take part.
Richard grew up near a wildlife park and as a child was keen on filming what he saw. The couple were introduced
at university in Cape Town, and quickly realized how much they had in common. They were both curious about the
natural world and Sonia soon discovered a similar talent for filmmaking. As a child in South Africa Sonia often ran
off alone to explore the wild areas surrounding her home, despite her parents’ fears.
When asked what they found hardest about their work, Sonia and Richard have the same answer - leaving an area
and finishing a project. Sonia adds that the hours required can be hard, and things like the heat, dust, and bugs
make it very tiring. The excitement of her work comes from not knowing what will happen, perhaps even
discovering something new for science, while Richard takes most interest in spending time with individual animals,
getting to know their character.
The pair visit schools around the world, and notice that students with access to lots of information don’t always
have as much understanding about geography as students in countries where access is limited. “Students without
the internet constantly available actually look at maps, they want to find out where they are and often end up with
a better idea of place,” Richard says. A major part of their work is explaining to students the importance of a fuller
understanding of various environments by studying
the climate, animals and culture of a specific location.
If you’d like a similar career, Richard suggests studying various different areas of biology, rather than learning about
the latest filmmaking technology, as an understanding of the natural world will last
forever. The couple also give general advice for those wanting to help protect the environment. Sonia explains that
it’s important to allow yourself to concentrate. “Turning off personal electronic items gets you closer to the natural
world,” she says. “You can watch nature, instead of listening for your mobile phone.” Most importantly they agree
that if urgent action isn’t taken, more animals might be lost. However, the fact that more teenagers are getting
involved offers some hope for the future.
