Karina Holden is not what you would call an overnight sensation. The head of factual at Northern Pictures, she is a conservation biologist turned natural history filmmaker. Along the way she's become a star, with a show she co-created, Love on the Spectrum (US version) winning four Emmy awards, including outstanding unstructured reality program.
The patience that comes with making films about nature has been at work. For the last two years, she has been creating Our Country, an immersive experience with 40 screens rolling nearly 12 hours of film showing Australia's natural landscape in all of its glory into a one-hour presentation - including native species and habitats.
