Environmental and film experts curate the top contenders in the Wild and Green Film Festival
Our Wild and Green Film Festival asks for shorts up to 30 minutes in length centered on today’s most pressing issues: climate change, endangered species, sustainability. Its jury is made of both environmental and film experts. We’d love for you to meet them:

A trusted advisor to public health, environmental science and social innovation leaders, she builds bridges across sectors to find the common pulse between research, film, entrepreneurial and philanthropic networks. She’s known for producing human-centered projects and directing investment in people, places and programs to elevate global health.
