Joe Riis has the job that every child in the world dreams of: He is a celebrated National Geographic wildlife photographer. He spends his life embarking on adventures to the wildest places on Earth, often for months on end, to observe and photograph animals for National Geographic Magazine. He seemingly has the picture perfect life. Or does he? This film tells a more personal story of an oft idolized character to remind that even those who have achieved it all still face many of the struggles that everyone else does. It also celebrates how a man’s love for the wilderness has helped to further curiosity, respect and protection for the natural world around us.

I found this linked on A Photo Editor. I'm trying to watch more short films/videos to try and look for techniques I can use as I'm learning more and more about making short videos, what also captured me was how Joe speaks about the balancing act of pursuing something you feel worthwhile bounces back between awesome and, not so awesome. 

Definitely worth a look for the like, pretty animals and landscapes, as well if you're feeling existential about pursuing something in your life that's all encompassing in all the ways.
