“The complexity, ambition-level and budget of ‘Secrets of the Whales’ meant it was the biggest wildlife series Red Rock Films had ever done, and with these Emmy nominations, we are beaming with pride in our incredible team.  As an independent production company, our philosophy has always been to put the best people in the best place with the best gear at the right time and let the magic happen,” said President of Red Rock Films Brian Armstrong.

“And with ‘Secrets of the Whales,’ we couldn’t have asked for a better, more unstoppable team, or more collaborative partners across the board, including James Cameron, Sigourney Weaver, Brian Skerry, and Raphaelle Thibaut; as well as the brilliant crew at National Geographic and Disney+, led by Janet Han Vissering, whose vision made the entire series possible.”
