Darryl Czuchra
Darryl reached Compass Light in 2003, and has worked as the producer for Sunrise Earth, Cracking the Ocean Code, and Creating Synthetic Life, as well as shooter and producer of travel content for Compass Light’s work with Grand Circle Corporation. A native of Connecticut, he graduated from University of Connecticut and began a stint in the music business, working as a recording engineer by day and drummer by night for the alt band All the Voices.  Eventually, his creative energies turned towards visual storytelling. After two seasons filming outdoor adventures for the PBS series Trailside, Darryl moved to Maine to help develop another PBS award-winning series, Anyplace Wild. As a producer and director for four seasons, he led the expedition team into some of the world's wildest locations. With a broad range of skills, including producing, shooting, audio recording, and editing, he has since collaborated on hundreds of hours of broadcast television programs for Discovery, Animal Planet, History, Nat Geo, BBC, HBO, and more. When he's not packing or unpacking Pelican cases, Darryl enjoys time in Midcoast Maine with his wife and two sons.
