Biography
Rick Rosenthal is a trail-blazer filming in the open ocean – the waters far from land and thousands of feet deep. Over the years, he has filmed some of most challenging marine wildlife subjects on our planet. Among his achievements are three award-winning programs on the great whales – Riddle of the Right Whale, Humpback Whales and Sperm Whales Back From the Abyss for BBC, together with WHALE WISDOM, produced by Wild Logic, for Terra Mater. All four programs were made in collaboration with Sir David Attenborough.
