Brady Clarke

Brady Clarke grew up with an irrational fear of the ocean and a strong dislike for biology - being a naturalist on expedition vessels was far from his plan. As he entered the first year of his undergraduate degree at the University of New Hampshire, a professor ignited a passion for marine science and storytelling leading to his decision to pursue a Bachelor of Science in Marine, Estuarine, and Freshwater Biology. From there, his newfound passion led him to the Pacific Northwest to work for marine science organizations, expedition companies, and nonprofits where he focused on visual storytelling to inspire action. In 2023 Brady moved to New Zealand to pursue a Master's Degree in Science Communication and Natural History Filmmaking from the University of Otago. There, he used filmmaking to amplify the voices of conservation groups, indigenous communities, and research teams, bringing their stories into the spotlight. His films have reached thousands worldwide, been showcased in museums and theaters, and won numerous awards at film festivals.

From leading expeditions and wildlife tours to filming conservation stories on remote islands, Brady has dedicated his life to telling stories that would otherwise go unnoticed and inspiring others to care for our planet.
