What is nature?

When we talk about nature, we mostly assume that we mean the same thing, but is that really the case? An ecologist might have a completely different perspective compared to an economist. Our perspective on nature very much determines how we interact with our environment. The impact of people can be seen all around the globe. This film explores perspectives on the fundamental question: What is nature? and how should we relate to it?

Director: Tim Visser

With an adventurous creative spirit, Tim (1987) has always wondered about the environment around him. His passions are nature, art and science. During his studies in media design, film-art and media management he started to get interested in wildlife filmmaking. In his wildlife filmmaking career he specialized in visual storytelling with a wide range of (self-build) techniques. His work has been seen in numerous feature films and television programs. He has also produced short films which have been shown at international film festivals.
Growing up in the highly densely populated country The Netherlands, Tim has always been interested in the friction between man and nature. This topic forms one of the biggest inspirations for him to develop video concepts. He is able to do this with his company Jester&Wylde he founded in 2021 with Sander van Iersel. They produce nature and science documentaries.
