Documentaries For Conservation
WorkCabin Films is a Canadian conservation production house and Field Unit producing cinematic,
human-driven documentaries and films about wildlife, ecosystems, and environmental change.
We partner with nonprofits, researchers, and conservation organizations to tell
science-grounded stories that create lasting impact.
We’re based in a 30-acre pine forest (yes, seriously!)
Our Approach To Conservation Storytelling
We bring years of experience in conservation storytelling to every project, along with a genuine understanding of the people, places, and issues behind the stories. For the organizations we work with, that means a filmmaking partner who can take your knowledge, research and conservation work and shape it into a story that connects with people beyond the usual audience.
We don’t just produce conservation films. We help them travel.
Distribution Strategy That Creates Real Impact
A powerful film doesn’t end at export. We put the same thought and care into what happens next, developing a strategy to help each film find the right audiences, opportunities, and platforms. We help guide how stories reach the audiences that matter: through film festivals, screenings, partnerships, and strategic self-distribution.

Science-based stories and films made with conservation leaders
We live and work on the Traditional Territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation, and we honour the Neutral, Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples whose deep relationship with this land continues today. With gratitude, we recognize our responsibility to centre Indigenous voices and leadership in how we create and share stories.
