When Netflix created Untamed, a six-episode thriller set in Yosemite National Park, the park itself had to feel like a living, breathing character: vast, beautiful, and dangerous.

Every sweeping vista, every moment of wilderness tension, had to be true to its environment.

Filmsupply played a key role in delivering on this vision.

The production team required 25 clips of animal life and nature from Yosemite National Park that could seamlessly match the cinematic quality of the series.

The footage needed to reflect the authenticity of the park, with shots that conveyed the park’s majestic beauty, from light over granite cliffs to wildlife in its natural habitat.

Filmsupply is trusted by some of the world’s most renowned production companies for this reason. Our footage elevates storytelling, adding depth and emotion that aligns with the filmmaker’s vision.

In Untamed, Yosemite is not just a location but a central figure in the story. The cinematic, authentic footage from Filmsupply captured the park in a way that felt both real and awe-inspiring.

Because when the wilderness is a character, only genuine, cinematic footage can do it justice.
