The TEAM
THANK YOU
We would like to thank Foxtel to have been part of this project, provide us an opportunity and to let us creatively present and share this oceanic adventure series.
We also would like to thank our committed production team that has worked diligently during this Covid Crisis environment.
It was a natural choice of having Luke McNee to be the director of this Swell Chasers series. We’ve worked together on a numerous of projects including award winning surf doco Blackwater and the follow up installment May Dayz and Encoded.
Luke has now his own production company based in Victoria, Seagrass Films. Luke has worked extensively as a director, cinematographer and editor all over the world, specialising in directing adventure, conservation and wildlife documentary projects.
Our collaboration lead us to create the adventure series we are proud of.
