Shaun Macgillivray

Shaun's been on filming expeditions around the world since he was in diapers, but it wasn't until a trip to Palau at the age of 13 that he realized that his dad's passion for storytelling was in his blood. He was snorkeling on the "set" when he encountered a giant grouper (think the size of a refrigerator), then months later got to watch the fervent reaction of kids in the theatre who were watching The Living Sea-seeing on the giant screen what he was able to experience underwater first hand. It dawned on him: "A. My dad has a pretty cool job. And B. Maybe if I am lucky, I could do this when I grow up." Since then, Shaun has produced the award-winning 3D giant-screen films Journey To The South Pacific, To The Arctic and Grand Canyon Adventure, and is currently producing National Parks Adventure and We, the Marines. Shaun leads the company's Business Development and Partnership team and has successfully raised more than $40 million in funding for IMAX educational films in the last 3 ye
