Fred North

Acclaimed stunt film pilot, Fred North was born in Tunisia in 1961 to French expat parents and began his journey to becoming a pilot at eight years old, the very second he saw and set foot in a helicopter. From the jungles of Costa Rica and Madagascar to the Eurasian Steppe and the Swiss Alps, Fred has flown in some of the world’s most perilous and demanding conditions, serving as Camera Helicopter Pilot and Chief Pilot for world renowned rally car races such as “Paris-Dakar” and “Paris-Moscow-Beijing” and as coordinator for the famous sport trek, “Raid Gauloises.” At 41, determined to use his skills as a pilot and his natural eye for the camera to tell stories, Fred moved to Los Angeles, making the transition to from “pilot who films” to Film Pilot.
