Blending quirky wildlife footage with live action, WILDLIFERS! is an entertaining comedy that filters natural history through a teenage lens.

Su and Pharrell, both 14, are aspiring documentary filmmakers. At least Su is. She’s a naturalist in waiting – if it swims, crawls, flies or bites, Su can tell you all about it. Pharrell, on the other hand, would probably rather be making real films, you know, with scripts and emotions and actors and stuff. For the time being, shooting tree ants, frill necked lizards, tiny possums and the occasional dive-bombing flying fox is about as close as he is going to get.  But what he lacks in interest he makes up for in talent.

Thrown together by Roaring Koala, the production company they’re interning for, Su and Pharrell make an unlikely team as they spend their days (and sometimes nights), crammed together in tents, behind bushes, or stuck up trees; sitting, waiting, watching, cajoling, bickering, and occasionally even filming the animals they’ve been enlisted to document.

Su and Pharrell’s funny, insightful, but mainly ridiculous conversations shine a light on the fascinating lives of animals – with lots of laughs for good measure.
