How does funding for projects like this work? And how could one dip their toes into wildlife cinematography?

It sounds like an incredible interesting job, but I find it hard to see a good entry. I could just go outside and and Film squirrels and birds all day, but in the end there is no value other than for me. How could someone find a interesting wildlife project without being a well known photographer first?

I suggest making a short film first. That's a great way to learn about all the roles and is a better resume tool than a degree. That's the first thing I ask when someone asks to work at our company, is for a film or a reel
