About us.
We make independent documentaries about people and wildlife.
Human-wildlife interactions are on the rise posing new challenges to both people and animals around the world. We listen to those on the front lines and capture the changing issues, challenges and realities of managing and living closer to wildlife. We hear from people who live off the land, who profit from the land, who regulate the land, who study the land, and use the land for recreation. We hear from experts in both social and natural sciences.
We are the first Independent Film and Science Production to focus on the melting boundaries between people and wildlife.
