Sam Sutaria is the CEO of Waterbear Network - an interactive streaming platform dedicated to the future of our planet.
First described as the Netflix for nature, what Sam and the Waterbear team are building sets out to bridge the gap between knowledge and action when it comes to the climate crisis. Founded by Ellen Windemuth in 2020, the Waterbear Network exists to create systems change and measurable impact through storytelling.

It was great to hear about Sam’s career as he's moved through science, research, photography, and storytelling. We talked about how brands can drive impact, the B Corp movement, news of a soon to be released original production from some of the top talent involved with The Swimmers, and some great advice on how you can bring your film idea to life.
