Capturing the Hunt: Behind the Lens with Nick Duncombe of 495 Films

In this latest episode of Wild Things & Wild Places, Josh and Joey are joined by special guest Nick Duncombe, the creative force behind 495 Films. Nick is not only a talented videographer but also an integral part of the Putting the U in Hunt Program with MFF, where he helps film these young hunters. His passion for storytelling through film comes to life as he shares real, raw, and genuine insights into his process, including some of his most exciting projects. Nick talks about one of his favorite projects, which involved filming for the City of Green River, Wyoming, with their Parks and Rec department, a project that allowed him to showcase the beauty of Wyoming's outdoor spaces. In this episode, we also reflect on his recent work with the hunt for Ana, featured in the last podcast, adding a powerful close to the trilogy that began with Cody Robbins' and the crew on the early morning hunt. Nick's dedication to capturing the essence of the hunt and wilderness is evident as he prepares for the prestigious Weatherby Film Festival. His unique approach and passion are on full display through his YouTube channel, Wyoming Hunter, where you can catch some of his work. For more of Nick's projects, visit his website at 495films.com.
