MIPCOM Spotlight: Terra Mater Factual Studios

Terra Mater Factual Studios’ Secrets of the Unsaid—The Science of Animal Poo examines animals through their excrement.

The documentary takes audiences on a trip with Dr. Scott Burnett, a.k.a. “Scat Man,” who spends months at a time in the field looking for clues in wildlife droppings.

“Wombats, whales, krill and rhinos—join him and us as we journey to far-flung places, looking for facts in feces,” says Sabine Holzer, head of specialist factual.

Terra Mater’s three-part series about North America’s Great Lakes, Great Lakes Untamed, delves into the natural history of the largest freshwater ecosystem on Earth.

Horse Power—American Legacies traces the emergence of American horse breeds over time.

“We not only want to inspire with our films but also with our way of making films: a green and sustainable path to enjoy nature frame by frame,” says Holzer. “We are happy to talk about presale options regarding each of these projects.”
