Where the Wind Takes You
In the age of technology and comfort, this short film harnesses the importance of adventure and exploration. We dodge icebergs, explore countless fjords, and sail under the sharp peaks of some of the most northern landmasses on the planet.
Saving The Night Caller - Conservation Documentary
Saving The Night Caller is a hauntingly beautiful conservation documentary that follows filmmaker Gregg McLachlan deep into the forests of Canada to uncover the mysterious world of the Eastern Whip-poor-will — a bird whose call once echoed across the night, and is now slowly falling silent.
Through cinematic storytelling, emotional narration, and intimate moments with biologists and conservationists, this film explores what it means to fight for a species most people never see, but will miss when it’s gone.
The Wild Mile: A River Reborn
The Wild Mile is the first ever mile-long floating eco-park in the world. What is the history of this revolutionary park and what is the city of Chicago’s interest in the preservation of our wildlife eco-systems in the very famous Chicago river.
