Erin Ranney is a wildlife cinematographer based in Alaska, Washington State and the Falkland Islands. With a variety of remote field experience, both on boats and land, she’s set up and run remote field camps in Alaska. As a cinematographer, she’s captured footage for companies such as BBC, PBS, Smithsonian, Disney+ and National Geographic. One of her most recent series includes the National Geographic/Disney+ series ‘Queens’, which recently premiered in March 2024.

While experienced in filming wildlife on land, Erin is also a deep- sea video engineer and she’s a trained guide and naturalist in bear country. Additionally, she’s a third generation commercial fisherwoman in the largest sockeye salmon run in the world. She runs a commercial set net fishing operation in Bristol Bay Alaska and has spent time at remote fishing camps since she was a toddler.

In this episode, Erin and Mark talk about how in the world at her young age, she's done all this amazing work and what fishing and fighting for Bristol Bay have taught her, her incredible work on Queens from Nat Geo and Disney Plus mentorship and passing it on, and what that means to her and creating healing and understanding in a divided country.
