Nick Lyon is an award-winning Producer/Director and Founder of Painted Wolf Pictures with over 20 years of filmmaking experience, including 17 years delivering high-end natural history for BBC, Netflix, and Apple TV+. Having driven the initial development and successful pitch for Prehistoric Planet - setting up program breakdowns, technical workflows, and team recruitment - and managed international post-production pipelines alongside a 1,500-person CGI team, Nick naturally operates with the broad-stroke editorial oversight and strategic discipline required of a Series Producer/Director.
A supportive team leader who prioritises crew culture and talent development, Nick excels at managing complex production lifecycles. His background spans structural script testing and animatics through to multi-unit field logistics and post-production story-shaping. Combined with a strong academic background and obsessive wildlife nerdiness, Nick brings mature creative leadership, deep narrative rigour, and proven operational oversight to series-scale natural history.
