My favourite place in the UK is the Cairngorms. This is a showcase I have made of some of the most beautiful things I have been lucky enough to see whilst visiting this stunning county. This film is a part of my third year university portfolio, a project called "Rewilding Scotland'.

Cairngorms - The Wild Dream The Wild Dream - A beautiful collaboration of filming from an amazing trip to the Cairngorms last June. This film portrays the beauty of Scotland and the importance of rewilding to a landscape 🌿 even though we are cooped up inside, hopefully this film bring some joy to your day and reminds you that once this is over, there’s so much beauty and nature waiting to be seen. • Edited by Izzy Carveth and Lewis Jefferies 📷 Directed by Anna Roberts Crew: Sophie Bestwick Izzy Carveth Beth Hall Asher Mann Dylan Jackaman Philip Edwards Sophie Twining Ellie Stones Nicky Martinez Lewis Jefferies Neil Aldridge

Squirrel’s Life - Scottish Nature Video Award So amongst all the bad news that’s been going on, last week I received a call to say that my short film ‘A Squirrel’s Life’ has won the Scottish Nature Video Award, 2019! 'I'm so happy to have won the Scottish Nature Video Award! It was such a lovely phone call to receive, especially in such strange and unpredictable times. The Cairngorms is my favourite place to visit in the UK and I'm so glad that my video showing its iconic red squirrels has been so well received! It was a pleasure to make as part of my degree in Marine and Natural History Photography and I hope it shows people how rewilding can be used to improve and support this beautiful part of the world!'
