The Power of ONE
In the realm of documentary filmmaking, stories serve as a powerful tool for collaboration and connection.
Stories become the conduit through which we share our deepest passions, sorrows, struggles, and triumphs.
They hold the key to unlocking meaning and purpose in our lives.
Stories act as a unifying force, providing a common ground for people to communicate and bridging the gaps created by our defenses and differences.
By delving into stories, we gain a deeper understanding of ourselves and discover the threads of commonality that bind us to others.

Behind the scenes:
There are so many moments that I would love to share with you. And I will, but for now here are some laughs, travel arrangements, local expertise for emergency car repairs and working alongside amazing humans to combat in finding meaningful ways to mitigate this conflict.
Human safety: Human-wildlife conflict can pose risks to human lives. Large mammals like elephants and hippos can cause injuries or fatalities when they come into contact with humans. Addressing the conflict helps protect the safety and well-being of people living in close proximity to wildlife.
