We’re still making content to accompany the Our Planet series that was released earlier this year, but some of our first films just picked up awards at the prestigious Jackson Wild Festival (previously the Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival).

How To Save Our Planet – Winner of ‘Best Changing Planet Film – Short Form’
‘Awarded for the best examination of our changing planet, including human impact, the environment, sustainability and climate change. Sponsored by Smithsonian Channel.’

How To Save Our Planet – Winner of ‘Best Limited Series Film – Short Form’
‘Awarded to the mini-series with episodes shorter than 20 minutes in length, that most effectively advances a natural history theme. Sponsored by ARRI.’

…and if that weren’t exciting enough, the main series (for which I was edit assistant) also scooped up some great awards as well;

Our Planet: High Seas (main series episode) – Winner of ‘Best Ecosystem Film’
Our Planet: Frozen Worlds (main series episode) – Winner of ‘Best Changing Planet Film’
