Garrick, an Idaho native, developed his love of nature, wildlife and the outdoors from his father, Primetime Emmy Award winning cinematographer, Jim Dutcher. Jim taught Garrick at a young age important lessons for filming in the field, including patience, waiting for the right moment, and understanding animal behavior. Garrick worked on his father's films about wolves, cougars and beavers for National Geographic and the Discovery Channel. Each film taught Garrick valuable lessons and his contributions grew as he honed his cinematography skills. Most recently, in Living with Wolves for the Discovery Channel, Garrick worked as both Cameraman and Production Manager.
Garrick attended The Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington, majoring in Environmental Studies. During his final year of undergraduate studies, Garrick attended Centro de Investigaciones en Medio Ambiente y Salud (CIMAS) in Quito, Ecuador. CIMAS is a non-profit academic and research organization that studies the effects of development on the health and environment of Latin America. For his thesis, Garrick produced a photo-documentary, Oil in the Amazon, which earned highest honors. It was during this project and his year in Ecuador that Garrick developed his compassion for the plight of the rural citizens of Latin America.
Garrick further trained at the International Film and Video Workshops in Rockport, Maine and the High Def Expo Workshops in Chicago.
Garrick lives with his wife, Kirstin in Ketchum, Idaho and enjoys mountaineering, skiing, mountain biking, fly-fishing, bird watching, gardening, and exploring different cultures and environments in South East Asia, Africa, Europe, and Latin America.
