The show was produced by Red Rock Films and South African filmmaker Cayley Christos. Cayley has over ten years of experience in filming wildlife content.

Other nominations included “Outstanding Music Direction and Composition”, “Outstanding Single-Camera Editing”, and “Outstanding Sound Mixing and Sound Editing”.
