Rick Wood, director
Making a documentary as a hearing-impaired filmmaker has some unique challenges. Luckily for me, the turtles all seemed to forgive my inability to hear them.
As a journalist for the past seven years, I’ve covered natural disasters, crime, war, professional sports, celebrity news, politics and events of national importance. My work has been featured in several newspapers, magazines, national news outlets and international news websites.
My true passion, wildlife photography, was a byproduct of trying to pick up the pieces of my health, which was ravaged by Meniere ’s disease. It was while sitting on cold, wet stone-covered beaches in the Pacific Northwest, I learned about animals in their natural habitat.
Red foxes, harbor seals, orca whales, bald eagles, Olympic marmots and snow geese became my physical therapists, as I spent hundreds of hours watching and following them in their daily lives. The end result was my first book, Nature Aware, published in 2012.
These days I am a champion of animal conservation causes and an advocate for the hearing-disabled.
Journey Home is my directorial debut. My other projects include a video for March of Dimes, a "yet-to-be-named" television pilot and currently the filming of a nature documentary about marine mammals and a dramatic short film entitled, "Tideline."
