Sorry, not sorry!

‘Bird Names’ follows a BIPOC and queer-led film crew through the importance of changing over 150 names of birds that were named after people with racist actions and colonial legacies.

Excited to announce that Bird Names has been nominated for best short film at the Venice Shorts Film Festival!

Venice Shorts of LA was founded by a team of American and Canadian filmmakers in Venice Beach California. The festival, which focuses on promoting Indie filmmakers, has turned into one of the most popular international short film festivals with sold out screening in Los Angeles.

Thank you for trusting our team and crew to tell this lighthearted - but important - environmental justice story.

Some people go to Hollywood looking for the next big thing. We went looking for climate solutions. 🌎🎬

A few members of our nature-loving production company traded set life for conference life at the this week, swapping notes with storytellers, scientists, and changemakers on how the stories we tell can help shape the world we want to live in.

Turns out hope is contagious and business can still be conducted over vegan food, and reusable dish wear.

In the ❤️ of the Nations Capital, hosted our film’s cast and crew effortlessly, before the Ottawa Premiere of Bird Names. The hotel vibes were spacious, calm, and quietly generous, best energy for a whirlwind 🌪️ 24 hours in 🇨🇦! Going to Ottawa? Highly recommend this hotel (can’t beat the location) and while you’re kicking back with your feet up, stream our film! 👀 BIRD NAMES available now on or YouTube

Huge thanks to Mayor and .gill.79 from for taking our post-production team out of the edit bay and into the wild, walking us through the wildlife corridor and the soon-to-be world’s largest crossing. Nothing like stepping out of the edit and into the ecosystem to remind us that the animals and the crossing exist outside our footage!
