Libor Spacek (Lio)

The founder and director of the film and photography production Escape to Nature

Lio has been an experienced cinematographer and photographer since the late 1990s. With his extensive background as a scuba diving instructor, he has gained extensive experience in underwater filming. He also possesses expertise in the remote control of the DJI Inspire 2 drone and aerial photography. Libor is well-known for his collection of black and white “Underwater Fine Art Nudes” photographs. In 2008, he co-founded the award-winning project Escape to Nature, which produces documentaries focused on the conservation of the oceans and the underwater world.

Lio is an environmentalist and wildlife filmmaker who has a particular interest in marine life and projects aimed at monitoring and protecting the underwater world. He also enjoys meeting with indigenous tribes and their cultural practices. Working closely with marine biologists and scientists, Lio is involved in addressing issues related to global warming, ocean pollution, and the preservation of rare animal species. When he’s not working, he likes to spend time on the Lagoon catamaran, both for relaxation and as a yacht captain and expedition leader, always seeking out new challenges.

In 2008, Libor met Petra Dolezalova, and together, they founded the Escape to Nature project. The project produces one-hour documentaries from exotic and remote islands worldwide, highlighting sustainable travel and nature conservation. To date, the Escape to Nature team has produced nine one-hour documentaries that have received over one hundred awards and nominations at international film festivals. Episodes from this series are regularly broadcast on Czech Television and distributed to foreign TV channels.

“Escape to Nature B.V.” is a film and photography company established by Libor in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, in February 2020, based on many years of experience and success producing films under the Escape to Nature brand. All subsequent projects will be produced by this Dutch company.

Building on this experience, Lio and his international team of filmmakers and marine biologists will embark on a six-year journey aboard the Lagoon 55 catamaran to create a new documentary series, Escape to Pacific. This project will involve collaboration with global non-profit organizations, local conservationists, and volunteers. The multi-part film project, Escape to Pacific, will begin with a voyage from France across the Atlantic to the Caribbean, through the Panama Canal, and into the Pacific.
