Dugald Maudsley

Infield Fly Productions is a Toronto-based production company that creates documentary films and series for broadcasters in Canada and around the world.

The company was established in 2000 when Dugald Maudsley made his first independent film after nearly 15 years traveling the globe producing documentaries for both The Australian Broadcasting Corporation and Television New Zealand.

Over a 25-year career he’s been an on-air national reporter, produced documentaries from many of the world’s war zones and, through his company Infield Fly Productions, created and executive produced award-winning documentaries and series for broadcasters around the world.

In 2006, Dugald created and produced the Gemini-nominated genealogy series Ancestors in the Attic for History Television. During four successful seasons he oversaw the production of 49 documentaries shot around the world from Canada’s high Arctic to West Africa, China and Belarus.

Infield Fly Productions recently completed a one hour documentary for The Nature of Things on health and science myths, three one hours for TSN celebrating the 100th Grey Cup, and is currently in production on two more one hour documentaries for The Nature of Things.

Dugald also recently produced a successful four part series on wildlife trafficking for Nat Geo Wild in the United States, and another one-hour documentary on human trafficking for the National Geographic Channel. Both projects have been broadcast around the world.

Dugald’s interest in real life, personal stories comes from a career making documentaries on subjects as varied as the HIV crisis in Africa, the war on heroin in Pakistan, Saddam Hussein’s oppression of the Kurds and the birth of Nunavut in Canada’s far north.

He began working as a television journalist in New Zealand before joining the Australia ABC. He won the country’s highest journalism award for a series on the Russian coup before becoming the executive producer of a prime time documentary series called Foreign Correspondent. In this role Dugald oversaw the production of more than 120 hours of programming, and a senior team of documentary filmmakers.

He now oversees all projects at Infield Fly Productions.
