Episode 016's guest is former engineer Phil Selmes - who Simon & AD worked alongside for many years on the Logan Water Alliance.  Phil has worked in the water industry for 25yrs, and has had roles in local government such as Sydney Water, Albert Shire Council, Gold Coast City and also as an engineering consultant (Parsons Brinckerhoff). But despite such an incredible engineering career, Phil left the profession, changed direction completely and followed his dreams – he is now an award winning videographer making independent nature documentaries. 
In 2013 (whilst being on a year long sabbatical travelling around Australia with his partner Joan), he won Best Film in the Tasmanian Breath of Fresh Air (BOFA) Film Festival “Essence of Tasmania” category for his documentary Tasmania Look Closer.
In 2018, Phil and his partner Joan, created “Into the Wild Films” (http://intothewildfilms.com/). In Phil’s own words “Into the Wild Films has been a decade long journey.  A fusion of two passions, the first is a love of Australia’s landscapes and wildlife, the second is a love for the art of film making.”
As a testament to his new craft, his incredible work has been screened on ABC, SBS, NITV, Channel 9, Discovery, Channel 4 UK + commercial TV in Korea and France. 
We thoroughly enjoyed re-uniting with Phil. It was just so fascinating to hear about his amazing journey. We strongly recommend you check out his Youtube channel @Intothewildfilms. You will love it.
Enjoy the interview !!
