Inspire Our Next Film
WorkCabin Films is always interested in taking on new conservation documentary projects. We are particularly drawn to conservation organizations with projects that are science-driven, showcase field research, species recovery work, habitat restoration work, Indigenous-led conservation, etc.
Project Sponsor
Fund a short film or a key part of production
In-Kind Supporter
Contribute gear, locations, or services
Fully funded documentaries are made possible in close collaboration with conservation organizations. We also produce independent conservation documentaries that spotlight underrepresented stories and urgent environmental issues. These independent projects are made possible through a combination of funding sources, including grants, donations, and meaningful partnerships with organizations and individuals who share our vision for positive change.
Have a Story to Tell? Let's Talk
How the process works
At WorkCabin Films, we’re always excited to explore new conservation documentary projects anywhere in Canada. We’re especially drawn to stories rooted in science; think field research, species recovery programs connected to the Species at Risk Act, habitat restoration, Indigenous-led conservation efforts, and more. Basically, if it’s a powerful, untold, or underrepresented conservation story, we want to hear about it.
Got an idea? Awesome! The best way to share it with us is through our submission form. It gives us a chance to learn about your concept, understand your budget and funding needs, and see how everything might line up in terms of timelines and scheduling. We can’t wait to see what you’re working on!
How are projects funded? We Can Help
Documentary film budgets can vary a lot — anywhere from $5K to over $40K. Do you already have some funding in place? Or do you need help finding grants or other sources of support? Knowing what kind of budget or funding you have helps us get a clearer picture of what’s possible — things like the length of the film, how much time we’ll need for filming, and what’s involved in post-production.
What are the timelines?
As a busy conservation filmmaking crew, our schedule fills up quickly with field shoots and ongoing projects. The more lead time and flexibility you have, the better we may be able to collaborate on bringing your story to life. We carefully consider each submission and will follow up if we see a strong fit with our mission and production capacity.
If we see a fit, we’ll move forward with the collaboration process, including virtual meetings for planning, finalizing agreements and releases, and coordinating scheduling. From there, we’ll refine the documentary vision together and ensure all elements are in place for a smooth production.
