An aquatic adventure series on an epic scale, Descending pushed the boundaries of underwater film-making to capture some of the most incredible footage ever seen. Starring Ellis Emmett, Scott Wilson and Andre Dupuis – Travel Channel.
THE REST OF THE MAP
Seasoned travellers Scott Wilson and Andre Dupuis begin a new journey descending into the world beneath the waves. They travel to New Zealand to recruit friend and fellow explorer Ellis Emmett for the adventure. But equipment challenges and harsh weather impede the team’s first dives.
As part of the Auckland Museum’s recently launched Moana – My Ocean exhibition, SKY TV’s Travel Channel NZ launched its new underwater series, Descending, an aquatic adventure series for a new generation.
Ellis Emmett, Kiwi co-host of Descending, made an appearance to talk to everyone about his amazing underwater experiences.
I just keep interviewing this guy, I can’t help it!
Every time we talk I come away inspired and encouraged by what is possible in this life and how even someone who isn’t looking for it can stumble into his passions and onto the path of greatness!
Ellis graciously agreed to spend some time talking with me, specifically about the stuff we’re working on in Momentum, in an effort to share what he’s learned about life and dream chasing in his epic life!
The first thing I noticed about Ellis Emmett were his eyes, and his laugh. He’s got an easy smile with those big, beautiful lines around his mouth and eyes that let you know he loves life, lives outside, and his natural state is smiling, broadly. He’s one of these guys who exudes confidence. He’s clearly equally comfortable in his treehouse in New Zealand, in front of a big fire, sleeping on a glacier with no tent, or on location filming one the award nominated documentary,
Kiwi adventurer Ellis Emmett takes viewers on a thrilling adventure into the depths of our world to see places and creatures few of us ever will. From New Zealand’s own backyard to some of the planet’s most remote destinations.
Today Descending launches exclusively to media and selected guests from the Auckland Museum’s stunning auditorium.
Scott Wilson is a key part of the team behind two acclaimed Canadian travel shows, Departures and Descending. One show spent three years travelling different countries, the other an underwater exploration. A few things the shows have in common: beautiful cinematography, a view of the planet with intrigue and curiosity, and a fan base across the world. With Andre Dupuis behind the lens, and co-hosts Justin Lukach on Departures and Ellis Emmett on Descending, Wilson has produced something very rare and hopes to continue doing so in the future.
