OUR MISSION

INSPIRING CHANGE THROUGH ENVIRONMENTAL STORYTELLING

We fund and mentor storytellers who bring unique perspectives to environmental and wildlife narratives, shining a light on the beauty, fragility, and importance of the ecosystems we all share. We encourage them to speak in the language of land the stories come from. Their words carry a resonance that gives them great storytelling strength. With every film we support our filmmakers in making meaningful impact - from film festival screenings, educational study guides for use in schools around the world and engaging impact events. Short films that make a big difference.
