wild at heart.

Documenting those who are too.

Hi! I’m Thomas Horig. Filmmaker, visual storyteller, and remote production specialist based in Australia, working globally. I create poetic, cinematic films that connect people to wild places, honest moments, and the human spirit behind adventure.

My work has taken me to many corners of the earth. From documenting the frozen surf culture of Scotland to a world-record mountaineering attempt in the highlands of Western Papua. I have fast become a trusted cinematographer in some of the planet’s most remote and extreme environments.

Cine-poems


Cine-Poems are short films that blend cinematic visuals with poetic narration. A unique and emotive way to tell stories that connect on a deeper level.

Each film is written, shot, and edited to reflect the essence of a person, brand, or moment in time. The result is a visual poem: intimate, resonant, and deeply human.

Inspired by the award-winning short film So, Bonnie Land, this format has become the heart of my creative work. A way to honour truth, celebrate identity, and connect through feeling, not formulas.

Whether you’re a business with a story worth telling, a creative capturing your legacy, or an individual wanting to say something real, a Cine-Poem is built to move people.
