About us


IWP makes productions for television, nature conservation organisations and local authorities. We have produced award winning, high-end series and one-offs for Dutch public television and international distribution.

It all started with our first series ‘Returning - Kestrel, Beaver and Kingfisher’, with stunning footage and showing exceptional behaviour, some of it never filmed before. More recently we produced the film ‘New Land’ (Marker Wadden) and were involved in the production of ‘Otter’. Our latest productions are ‘Waves Beneath the Water’, a film about wildlife underwater and the feature film ‘WOLF’.

Currently we are working on the production of the feature length film ‘1000’, telling the story of our natural world over the last millennium.

Partners we work with and for are amongst others ARTE, BNNVARA, AVROTROS, EO, RTL, Natuurmonumenten, IFAW, Rewilding Europe, RAVON, Zoogdiervereninging, ARK Natuurontwikkeling, Veluwe op 1, Vogelbescherming Nederland, Provincie Limburg and Provincie Gelderland.

Our wildlife films have all been broadcasted on NPO1, the first channel of Dutch public television, and have already been aired in more than thirty countries worldwide.
