Matthew Wright
Producer/Director
Matthew has been working in television production for over 20 years, starting out in the fast-paced world of live TV in London before moving to Bristol to take up a role as a researcher on wildlife series for Discovery Channel, National Geographic, Animal Planet, ITV and Channel Five.
After working his way up the ladder, he moved across to the BBC Natural History Unit in 2010 to produce the Sahara Desert episode of Sir David Attenborough's acclaimed landmark series "Africa". He stayed at the BBC to oversee "Supergiant Animals" with presenter Steve Backshall, and then the Andes episode of "Mountain: Life at the Extreme" which took him across South America, working in extreme conditions, sometimes at altitudes over 5,000 metres.
Matthew is currently working at Plimsoll Productions, producing an episode of National Geographic's forthcoming blockbuster series "Hostile Planet".
