Bettina (‘Tina’) Dalton is one of the founding Principals and Executive Producers of WildBear Entertainment. While Bettina’s first passion is stories of the natural world, and our place in it, she has produced and directed diverse genres of award-winning content for most international television broadcasters.
Many of her projects are borne from discovery and reimagining of little-known film archives and she is passionate about stories that resonate globally and that shift the dial on social and environmental issues.
Her recent projects include the Sundance selected and Emmy® nominated feature documentary “Playing With Sharks” about the life and legacy of pioneering Australian underwater diver, filmmaker and shark advocate, Valerie Taylor which was acquired by Nat Geo Disney. Her theatrical feature documentary “Rachel’s Farm” (and associated Impact campaign) about Rachel Ward’s journey to become a “regenerative” farmer featured in Film festivals around the world.
Her most recent feature documentary, multi award winning “Every Little Thing” was selected into the Sundance 2024 US documentary competition, SXSW, CPHDOX, HOTDOCS and Sydney Film Festival and others to be announced and is OSCAR eligible. Bettina is currently in development of two feature narratives that highlight similar issues and personal stories.
Bettina is a member of the Producers Guild of America and the Television Academy. Her recent awards include the Blue Water Film Festival “Producers Vision” Award (2021) and “Creative Producer” Award (2021).
