A force for nature.

Our team brings decades of experience working at the intersection of mainstream film and television, impact production and conservation.

Nature

the Boss

Nature has been shaping the plot and its characters long before anyone thought to press record. She works in cycles - growth, loss, return - always guiding business back toward balance. With quiet confidence, she builds partnerships between species, systems, and seasons, each one deeply connected and part of something bigger. Strategic and long-sighted, she’s always driving toward growth, evolution, and positive impact. She brings these patterns to ImpactWild, for audiences to be inspired to imagine better outcomes. That’s why she’s the boss, leading ImpactWild to spark nature-positive change across the screen industry.

Reina

Director of Impact & Education

Dr. Reina-Marie Loader has been conducting practice-based research for over a decade. Her work predominantly focuses on docudrama and documentary storytelling that promote movement building, reconciliation, human rights, and conservation. She completed her practice-based Ph.D. on the concept of “documemory” and the ethical representation of war trauma on screen. Her documentary experience in conservation is longstanding and she is the programme leader for the MA in Producing for Film and Television which, among other things, seeks to integrate impact producing as part of the students’ education and training. Reina has experience internationally in the promotion of human rights, having done a Masters at the University of Vienna before working in the field of children's rights for many years.

Rob

Director of INNOVATEWILD

Robert Wilcox has nearly 20 years of experience creating high-end wildlife documentaries for the BBC, Apple, Netflix, NatGeo, and ITV. A lawyer by training but guided by curiosity and a deep care for nature, he followed his intuition into storytelling - crafting powerful, character-led films that inspire respect for the natural world.
