Natural History Storytelling

Nature through a new lens

Unprecedented conservation storytelling, take 1, scene 1... and ACTION. Supported by our Edge of Nature Film Fund, we partnered with Wildscreen to bring you new directors and new perspectives straight from the natural world. Think drag queens, drama, long-distance romances, comedy and more – if you didn’t connect with wildlife stories before, see if any of these change your mind.

Would You Still Love Me if I Was A Sticky Frog?

Have you ever compared your partner to a worm? Or thought of your long-distance relationship like a proboscis monkey making a life-or-death leap? Join Nick and Yuna as they explore the difficulties of loving across borders and the parallels of conserving species on the brink of extinction. You won’t regret it.
