Emmy-nominated filmmaker Nick Molle´ has a passion to share the beautiful
places on Earth with the hope that it will inspire in others a desire to protect
and preserve them. His dream is that his writing and filmmaking will help
contribute to the conservation of our planet.
He has hiked, documented and filmed Rocky Mountain National Park for
over 25 years. When not exploring, or communing with the critters in the
Rockies, he follows his passion for presenting inspirational destinations
worldwide, which have included Costa Rica, Alaska, and Australia.
Now, with WildSide, in collaboration with his close friend and fellow environmental filmmaker John Goerner they face the consequences of a changing climate simultaneous with an increased public craving for natural environments. WildSide presents a timely message of belief that the educated visitor will be the salvation of our national parks and protected places.
“We who so need our urban creations also long for stepping into a forest to take a breath and stare into a landscape which we had no part in creating.” ~ Nick Mollé: The Living Dream: 100 Years of Rocky Mountain National Park
“When we look into the wilderness and see the heart of a scientist beating in this place of wonder and see the soul of an artist breathing the beauty, we can see ourselves, where we fit in.” ~ Nick Mollé: Nature of the Beasts
