KOLBY EDWARDS

Founder / Field Producer

"A hunters journey is one that takes us deeper into the wilderness than anything else does. It puts us on the front lines of wildlife conservation and gives us a first hand experience of the human condition encompassed by its challenges, defeats, relentlessness and victories.​ Mutambo Films was created to document that journey."

Mutambo Films was founded by hunter and filmmaker, Kolby Edwards. Since its establishment in 2019, Kolby has traveled across Africa documenting hunting safaris for both hunters and outfitters.

After graduating from film school with a degree in cinematography, Kolby ventured to Niassa province in northern Mozambique for his very first big game hunting safari.

“It's a safari that I will cherish for the rest of my life as it revealed to me what a hunt should be, a challenge and a victory worth something.”

Since then he has continued to develop his cinematic skill while venturing to the untamed corners of Africa documenting big game hunting and the vital conservation initiatives undertaken by hunters and outfitters.

“I think my favourite part of documenting a safari is when I’m able to capture and share the conservation efforts of hunters working to conserve millions of acres of wilderness across Africa. Hunters are on the frontlines of wildlife conservation daily and I think it’s a compelling truth and story that needs to be documented”

Kolby and Lauren are driven by a shared love for African wildlife and a strong respect for conservation. Since 2019, Kolby has documented the art and complexity of the hunt through real moments and lived experiences in the field.

Together since 2016, they founded Mutambo Films, bringing a background in motion picture and a unified approach to documentary storytelling. Their work is shaped by time in the field, an understanding of place, and a disciplined approach to craft.

As the company has grown, so has their vision, building a collective of like-minded creatives, filmmakers, and storytellers who contribute to a broader body of work rooted in authenticity and shared experience.

Today, they focus on producing documentary films and legacy projects that reflect real stories, told with care, intention, and built to endure.
