About Me

Barny Revill is an award-winning series producer / director, show runner and commercials director who has made films for the likes of the BBC, Netflix, Nat Geo, ITV and Discovery. He was brought into Silverback Films to take a creative lead on one of the biggest non-fiction commissions ever made by Netflix – Life On Our Planet, helping it secure multiple awards and a primetime Emmy nomination. He has just completed a yet to be released feature-doc for a major streamer, as well as co-producing an independent feature-doc Her Shark Story, and acting as a script-consultant on another feature-doc for Disney+ Guardians of the Galapagos.

Barny’s career in television began 25years ago when he started work as a researcher for Partridge Films in the UK. In just a couple of years he was producing and directing films for their award-winning series World of Wildlife, and ever since he has strived to make a broad range of programmes – directing a series on Ancient Egypt for Nat Geo, following an expedition up Mount Everest for Discovery and filming under the North Pole on a nuclear submarine for the BBC. He produced and directed the premiere episode of River Monsters for Animal Planet and has worked with a diverse range of hosts and high-profile celebrities for nearly all the major global networks.

Alongside his documentary work, Barny has also directed a variety of commercials, drama docs, unstructured reality series and a 3D movie. His films have won numerous awards and clips from them regularly go viral. He made the most watched video on Animal Planet’s YouTube channel, has several videos in the BBC’s most watched list on YouTube, and in total his videos have over 300million views and rising.

He returned to the BBC in 2017 to be the Series Director of Earth from Space with Chiwetel Ejiofor for the BBC and PBS, before joining Silverback Films to work with Steven Spielberg’s Amblin Entertainment and Industrial Light & Magic on the four-year production of the Netflix series Life On Our Planet. His latest feature-docs have been created while working in collaboration with his own independent production company – Furious Panda Ltd., and have the unique perspective of being emotional, human narratives that take place in some of the more extreme parts of our natural world.
