Our values
With each production, we follow these principles:.
Original footage - All footage shown has been shot specifically for the respective documentary, either by myself or a credited friend/partner.
No AI - All footage is 100% real & of wild species.
Accessible to all - Our documentaries will always be free to watch.
Stewardship - When filming, we will always leave the natural environment as we found it.
Ad Free - Where it is in our control, we will not run adverts in our documentaries.
My name is Tom and I am the filmmaker behind Thomas Ashton Documentaries.
Born in 1999, Northampton, England, I was raised in the small rural village of Ravensthorpe.
I studied Marine Biology at Exeter University, and specialised in researching coral bleaching. I moved to Australia after graduating, in March 2022.
Here I shared my love for the natural world by working as a tour guide - showing people the Great Barrier Reef & Mt Tamborine’s Glow Worm Caves.
Alongside my work I began filming the wildlife I saw, using the footage to create amateur nature documentaries.
Creating these documentaries is a slow and constant journey of self development. I hope you able to follow along for it.
