Wild Heaven Productions, LLC, based in Lander, Wyoming, USA, was founded in 1996 by George and Kari Grady Grossman. We combine creative storytelling and image making skills to produce television documentaries, interactive online adventures, magazine articles and fine art images.

Kari Grady Grossman, Producer & Writer, is a successful correspondent for Discovery Channel Online producing many interactive science adventures over the past 5 years. She spent the spring of 2002 on assignment for Discovery in Nepal, covering an expedition on Mount Everest that was sponsored by the Ford Motor Company. While living in base camp at 17,600 feet, Kari transmitted her story and captured an audience of over a million people for more than two months. She earned a bachelors degree in writing for Television, Radio and Film from Syracuse University in 1990. Her interest in biological systems, conservation and outdoor adventure drives her storylines. She has produced, written and recorded sound for films and is an award winning photographer.

George Grady Grossman, Director of Photography & Offline Editor, spends long hours, sometimes weeks and months in the wilderness to capture provocative images of wild animals. He spent 2 years filming the wolves of Yellowstone National Park for a recent documentary on Animal Planet, a cable channel of Discovery Communications, Inc. He uses Super 16mm motion picture, digital video, 35mm and 4"X5" still photography to capture the visual story. His dedication to long hours in the field have yielded unprecedented images of prairie falcons, mountain sheep, wolves, sage grouse, bears, prairie dogs, coyotes, and river otters. He left a career in public accounting 12 years ago to pursue wildlife photography, creating two successful businesses; The Great Outdoors Photography Company, an adventure travel and resort photography service, and The Grizzly Moon Gallery featuring fine art photography.
