My little spiel for the Films for the Forest Live Screening =) check it out live, free, starting next Thursday at 8PM. Excited that Richard Linklater, Oona Chaplin, Iwan Rheon, and Florence Ordesh are going to be watching and judging. Game of Thrones definitely had a thing for giant winged creatures so it totally tracks.

Check out the new Skyship Films site -- http://skyshipfilms.com!

One thing I've realized over the years of working on different issues like climate change and with different groups like science expeditions and medical teams is that I've unintentionally created series of films that connect very closely to one another. So rather than each film being its own page, I'm working on building pages that are bigger stories, combining several films with galleries of photos and text, creating hopefully little experiences.

Here's looking forward to the expeditions to come. Onward!

Aguilucho: Dance of the Harpy Eagle (teaser trailer)

Introducing the next Skyship documentary, a partnership with the people of Playa Mu**to, the The Peregrine Fund, and Be Electric Productions. This has been an absolutely amazing story to get to tell, and I can't wait to share the full film. We're just starting our festival entries so I'll update with any screenings, virtual or otherwise, where the film becomes available to see.

Oh baby! Baby Harpy Eagle, to be exact. 3-4 months old and she’s looking STRONG! I got to spend a few days up on a bamboo platform suspended 150’ above the forest floor with this cool chick, and just wrapped up the first draft of the documentary about her and the people of the Embera tribe who protect her.

Overjoyed to be in collaboration with the Peregrine Fund on eagle conservation in Panama and Madagascar! Check out their great work and support them if you can!

We are working with award-winning filmmaker Daniel Byers of Skyship Films to produce a breathtaking film featuring one of our longest running and most successful projects in Madagascar. This project was our first community conservation project and it is influencing our approach moving forward as we expand our work in Panama helping the Emberra and Wounaan communities save the Darien Rainforest and Harpy Eagles. Daniel just returned from trips to Madagascar and the Darien with a team of three filmmakers and one professional tree climber to capture incredible footage. These photos are from the Darien expedition. Make sure to check out some of Skyship Film’s online work (http://skyshipfilms.com/films.html).
