JACK MIFFLIN

Hi, I’m Jack, an award-winning wildlife filmmaker and cinematographer based in Vienna, Austria. I specialise in gimbal and long-lens cinematography and love to find fresh ways of bringing wildlife closer to the viewer.

​

In 2024, I co-founded Dream Wild Films to create beautiful and important films showing how wildlife is challenged by and adapts to our increasingly urban planet. My films have won at Jackson Wild, Wildscreen x National Geographic’s Wild Pitch, the United Nations’ World Wildlife Day, Green Screen and Innsbruck Nature Film Festival. 

​

I work across every stage of the filmmaking process, from development, filming in the field and editing but with a particular focus on cinematography. I’ve filmed for a range of urban wildlife documentaries, including ‘Wild Hollywood’, ‘Wild Vienna’ and ‘Darwin’s Amazing Animals’ for productions by ORF Universum, Terra Mater Studios, Doclights, ARTE, NHK and National Geographic.

​

For me, the best part of wildlife filmmaking is spending time in the field, learning animal behaviour and patiently waiting for those special moments that can’t be planned. Whether moving through an environment with a gimbal to immerse the audience in the action, flying a drone, or using a long lens to capture intimate behaviour and detail, my aim is always to create engaging stories that are beautiful and help people connect with the natural world around them.
