Wonder, awe and the intelligence of nature | Louie Schwartzberg | TEDxKC

As the only filmmaker in the world who has been shooting time-lapse continuously, for over four decades, Louie Schwartzberg has perfected the art of shifting time and scale to bring our attention (and appreciation) to the natural world. His most recent film, the award-winning Fantastic Fungi, is narrated by Brie Larson and explores the secrets of the mycelial network. Award-winning filmmaker and advocate for the natural world, Louie Schwartzberg tells stories that celebrate life and reveal the mysteries and wisdom of nature, people and places, by taking us into worlds that are invisible to the human eye. His greatest satisfaction comes from creating works that have a positive effect on the future of the planet. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at
