Pamela Kaval is an emerging filmmaker, screenwriter, author, producer and actor. She loves children’s stories, as well as comedies, dramas, horrors, thrillers, and documentaries. She has written and produced many short films, including the multi-award winning film, Mothering Sunday, which won her writing, producing and acting awards (as well as many other awards for the rest of her team). She is now concentrating her time on writing and producing series and feature films, and, as such, has started her own film production company called Wildaval Productions, a sustainably-minded film production company.
Prior to filmmaking, Pamela was conducting sustainability and biodiversity research and professionally editing books and academic articles. She has over 100 publications under her belt, which have focussed on topics such as endangered species, turtles, seals, wildfire, ecosystem services, recreation, mainland islands and sustainable agriculture.
Pamela carries her love of nature as a recurring theme in many of her films and books. In fact, her book, Getting to the Galapagos, a children’s middle grade adventure story about Galapagos tortoises, was inspired by her environmental work trip to the Galapagos Islands. This particular trip is also where she discovered her passion for writing and filmmaking.
