Richard Terry

In 2010 Richard was chosen to host a pilot series Man v Monster 3 x 1hr films transmitted globally in 2011 on both Nat Geo Wild & National Geographic channels. After receiving exceptional ratings in the US, the channel has green lit the making of a further 10 x 1hr episodes that will take Richard to the world's most hostile territories to unearth the truth behind mystifying legends and bring the audience face to face with more terrifying yet fascinating creatures.

As an already well-established BBC film unit - trained lighting cameraman, his on-screen career began in 2009 with the compelling and emotional six-part series Stranger Among Bears, which Richard appeared in as an integral part of the story. For six months he lived with a 70 year old recluse in the Alaskan interior in the company of wild Black & Grizzly Bears. He single-handedly directed, photographed, recorded sound and narrated this internationally successful Animal Planet series.

Richard returned the following year as lone filmmaker to a more remote part of Alaska, based only in a tent in the midst of dozens of giant Coastal Brown Bears, to record and produce his next project Alone Among Grizzlies with Richard Terry, broadcast worldwide on Animal Planet, Discovery & Channel 5 UK.

Richard has caught the attention of numerous production companies who recognise a niche in the documentary market for an honest and charismatic filmmaker with both drama & documentary backgrounds, who can quickly adapt to living in wild and hostile environments. Returning, not without scars, with moving and beautifully filmed yet raw and engaging programmes.

His personal skills, vulnerability and warmth are of huge benefit when attempting to bring out on screen, the full potential and depth of character from those he is filming.

Richard is a fellow of the Royal Geographical Society
