Archerfish is a full-service production company founded by filmmaker and Explorers Club Fellow, Lindsay Blatt. With fifteen years of experience in media, developing long- and short-form stories for domestic and international organizations, Archerfish creates visually engaging films with clarity and emotion for a wide variety of platforms.
Lindsay produced the feature-length science documentary, The Most Unknown, which the Los Angeles Times called "an unabashed love for discovery." Directed by documentarian Ian Cheney and advised by legendary filmmaker Werner Herzog.
Her first documentary film, Herd in Iceland, follows the island nation's annual horse round-up. These unique, half-wild, half-domesticated horses hold a precious place in Icelandic culture, art and tradition; for over 1,000 years Icelandic law has prohibited the importation of horses onto the island. Filmed from land and air, foot and hoof across the vast Icelandic landscape, Herd screened at more than 30 festivals, including DOC NYC & Big Sky. It won over 15 festival awards and is currently being shown on PBS stations throughout the United States.
She directed a series about prize-winning immigrant scientists and artists for the Vilcek Foundation. It included a profile on Katalin Karikó, the world-changing mRNA researcher whose technology was used to develop the Covid vaccine.
Lindsay graduated with honors from Pratt Institute. She's a member of The Video Consortium, and a Senior Producer at The National Geographic Society.
