Reel Earth Films Partnering With The Seabirds
Reel Earth Films is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the creation of nature-oriented films. One of the biggest reasons we do what we do here at Reel Earth Films is to not just create awareness for nature, but to facilitate change for the greater good of this planet through impact. Every one of our original films is accompanied by an impact campaign that is designed to give back to nature. We give back by providing resources that help the organizations we partner with continue doing their vital work to protect this planet. We believe that our films can do more than just create awareness; they can create measurable impact that will facilitate a healthier future for nature. For example, we recently produced a short film about southern resident killer whales in the Salish Sea–which you can watch here: https://reelearthfilms.org/southern-residents/ Over the years, we have not only produced our own films, but have collectively worked on films for PBS Nature, National Geographic, BBC One, and Disney+.
Reel Earth Films has recently partnered with The Seabirds, an all-female-led citizen science team dedicated to safeguarding marine life and our ocean to tell a story about their role in protecting orcas. Their story deeply resonated with us, as it exemplifies the profound impact that a group of dedicated individuals can make.
Our partnership with The Seabirds will explore the dynamic link between orcas and humankind, taking a deeper dive into the lives of these incredible women and the powerful matrilineal society that orcas thrive in. This film will delve into what led to the resilience these women and orca share, and how overcoming specific hardships has led these women together to stand up and fight for something bigger than themselves: protecting these orca and other marine life. Orca live in matriarchal societies, where mothers pass on their knowledge to their offspring to not only survive, but thrive in an ocean teeming with constant challenges and obstacles. Some orca never leave their mother’s side. The wisdom these powerful matriarchs of the sea display while navigating sometimes treacherous waters, and providing for a family is truly remarkable. Their resilience is a mirror of the resilience of The Seabirds. We are looking forward to continuing our work on protecting orca through joining forces with The Seabirds.

We are excited to begin working on this project together, and keeping true to the spirit of The Seabirds, Reel Earth Films will be employing a women-led film crew to capture this remarkable story. If you would like to learn more about our work, you can visit our website at: www.reelearthfilms.org
