In 1997 they established Logan Brown restaurant in downtown Wellington, and since then they have received acclaimed reviews from New York to London. Their success in hospitality, genuine passion for meeting people, and their love for the outdoors, good food and fine wine make them the ideal hosts for our series. loganbrown.co.nz

Producer/Director/Camera - Peter Young

Peter Young produced, directed and shot Hunger for the Wild. After spending most of his career behind the camera, this was Peter’s first series in the role producing & directing. “I had the support of a great team which allowed me to combine roles. As a crew we travelled light which helped keep a natural flow to things. I think that comes through in the show, there are many great, spontaneous moments."

Researcher/Writer/Associate Producer - Tracy Roe

Tracy Roe did the research and recce trips for the series, wrote the shooting and edit scripts and also helped direct post-production for Hunger for the Wild. With a background in making wildlife programmes for the international market, Tracy has really enjoyed the working on a series about New Zealanders for New Zealanders.
