It premiered last August at the Turnage Theatre in Washington. Now filmmakers Blake and Emily Scott’s “REFUGE — Swanquarter” is airing this week on UNC-TV’s new channel, The North Carolina Channel.

The documentary can be watched today at noon.

The Scotts, owners of Star Trak Studio and STRS Productions in Washington, have found acclaim in the world of nature documentaries, and a niche in North Carolina refuges. Their latest production explores the wildlife of the Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge.

“This 8,800 acre refuge is a paradise for both waterfowl and a large number of other wildlife species. Lying along the shores of the Pamlico Sound in Hyde County, Swanquarter National Wildlife Refuge is an important estuarine and wilderness resource, and the surrounding proclamation waters provide winter sanctuary for a huge variety of waterfowl,” Blake Scott wrote in an email.

This seventh film in the Scotts’ REFUGE series took a year of filming all four seasons, capturing waterfowl black bear, bobcats, deer and numerous other birds, insects and other creatures that “co-exist in one of the most unique habitats North Carolina has to offer,” Blake Scott said.

Incorporating time-lapse filming, as well as the use of a drone, the documentary is shot in high definition, narrated by Denise Kelly and mixed in Dolby Surround Sound, he said.

Previous REFUGE films include documentaries studying the wildlife of Mackay Island, Alligator River, Roanoke River, Pea Island, Pocosin Lakes and Lake Mattamuskeet. “REFUGE — Mattamuskeet” was the first film of the series and also will be featured this month on The North Carolina Channel on April 18, at 9 p.m., and April 19, at 3 a.m. and noon.

The Scotts are currently working on a new film, “REFUGE — Life” which will be a two-part program exploring all 11 wildlife refuges in the state.
