In 2011, Wildlife filmmaker, Adam Ravetch set out to make a 3D polar bear documentary for Television that will release later in 2012 on Sky TV & by Universal. With several 3D rigs, and a small crew, Ravetch was determined to get close-up to polar bears, and immerse his audience into their world ---an intimate 3D portrayal of a young teenage bear, alone, and without ice, in one of the longest summers on record. Ravetch will share film clips and behind the scene story on his movie, Ice Bear, where he swam side by side with polar bears and walrus, while lending insights into the challenges he faced in documenting the bear’s world in 3D.

In his pursuit of the ultimate photographic challenge, Ravetch journeyed north, and became one of a handful of filmmakers to shoot beneath the Arctic ice cap. Even more unusual is his perseverance in the north with two decades of experience working in the brutal, polar environment. The unforgiving Arctic has rewarded Ravetch with some of his most fantastic cinematic images & spectacular films.
