 Title:Our Blue - The Tank Bangers
Description:
How on earth did a bunch of diving instructors decide that enough is enough and we want our say? Well... It started in Sharm el Sheikh, Egypt. Sitting on the edge of the stunning Red Sea. Home to one of the natural wonders of the world. Home of the Ras Mohammed National Park. The people involved so far are from all walks of life. Previously lorry drivers, IT engineers, bankers, soldiers, nurses etc etc, all enjoying their new lives as diving instructors and guides.
And then something happened. In December 2010 a series of shark attacks changed the world. For us and for them. There are many reasons why these attacks happened. We promise you this much - it is not because sharks are evil. Drop that thought RIGHT NOW.

A captivating story of a Red VS Grey theme, with joyful, sad, funny, serious and intriguing emotions throughout this four minute short.

 Title: The Zoo Next Door
Description:
The Zoo Next Door is an independent film made about a private collection of animals at the back of Sergio Gomez Olivierʼs house in Tehuacán, in the State of Puebla, Mexico and the journey of film maker Karla Munguia Colmenero to find international help to relocate its animals to a more suitable location with bigger enclosures. The film gives an insight into the mind of a man that keeps many different species of large wild animals in unsatisfactory conditions believing that he is doing something good and worthy along with the opinions of his staff and the locals on whether the ʻzooʼ is bonafide in terms of conservation. Will Karla find the help? If she does, will Sergio accept Karlaʼs offer to relocate the restricted animals?

 Title: Wetland Conservation Film
Description:
This is a short film made by Conservation Media, a green production company. It was originally made for an EPA water quality video contest. It was a lot of fun to make and we were terribly lucky to catch not one, but two acts of wetland predation to show how all the players are connected. We mostly dissected an older relatively unused 10-minute film we made a few years back for Lee Metcalf National Wildlife Refuge. The new editing and shorter length work a lot better here.

 Title: The Need to Move
Description:
Produced by Conservation Media for The Wolverine Foundation, this short film explores one of the most fascinating and least understood animals on the planet. This small, rare, and elusive creature may be able to kill a moose or fend a grizzly off a kill, but it faces serious threats such as climate change for which it is no match.
The Wolverine Foundation recognizes the need for a coordinated science-based effort to elevate the wolverine's management status through support and initiation of research, and to develop an information network for professional and public education.
