Rooted in award-winning journalism and over a decade of science-based natural history and conservation storytelling filmmaking,
we tell environmental stories that feel real and live close to the land, films that move people,
spark awareness, and help fuel the work that protects habitat, biodiversity, and landscapes.
Based in southern Ontario, Canada, we are an unapologetically small, multi-talented team that works directly alongside biologists, researchers, and conservation teams
to document real science happening in the field — from habitat restoration work and monitoring projects to long-term species recovery programs.
Our films blend science with story, turning complex research into clear, emotional, and cinematic narratives that help organizations
inspire supporters, educate and engage communities, and drive conservation action in Canada.
Why conservation teams work with us
Scalable and Flexible
From short videos to feature-length documentaries, we adapt to your scale and needs. When you need it, we’re in-house full-scale too.
Field-Proven Experience
We come from conservation ourselves, giving us a deep understanding of the realities and goals of your work, making us relatable partners in telling your story.
Super Easy to Work With
We make production smooth, organized, and hassle-free, so your team can focus on conservation. The only thing we can’t do is keep the mosquitoes away!
Our basecamp sits in a 30-acre pine and hardwood forest within the Long Point Biosphere Region.
It’s an inspiring place to launch every environmental visual storytelling project. From this quiet stretch of woods, steps from the Big Creek National Wildlife Area,
we travel wherever conservation stories need to be told, bringing our nature filmmaking expertise
to the organizations working to protect Canada’s wildlife and natural landscapes.
