A HERD OF ORPHANS
Feature Documentary Film (2018) | Runtime: 86 minutes
When poachers kill adult elephants for their ivory, the calves that are left behind are orphaned, homeless, and unable to survive without the care of a herd. Their survival is dependent on the extraordinary people who dedicate their lives to protecting and raising them at an elephant orphanage tucked deep within the heart of Zambia. This endearing film is an inside look into their lives and the struggles they face as they grow up as A HERD OF ORPHANS.
Filmmaker Kelly Bakos captures the heartwarming, humorous and cheeky personalities of these orphans while interweaving stories about daily survival and coming of age within an unnatural setting—while threats still abound.

SEASWAP: Southeast Alaska Sperm Whale Avoidance Project
Short Documentary Film (2006) | Runtime: 37 minutes
Alaska commercial fisherman Kendall Folkert works hard for his catch. Long hours on the boat can lead to disappointment and financial trouble when crafty sperm whales steal black cod off his longline gear. A team of researchers joins Kendall in the North Pacific to outwit the clever animals.
Whale researchers Aaron Thode (Scripps Institution of Oceanography) and Jan Straley (University of Alaska Southeast) join forces in a unique collaboration with fishermen and fisheries managers to understand the signals prompting sperm whales to the fishing vessel Cobra. Watch as these individuals give you a look inside their work, marvel at the ingenuity of this endangered species, and experience how fishing and science come together to stymie these creatures from getting an easy meal.

EPHEMERAL
Short Documentary Film (2020) | Runtime: 30 minutes
e•phem•er•al (adj.) Lasting for a very short time
Ephemeral art is nature-inspired art that lasts only for a short period of time. Pieces are constructed outdoors from natural materials that eventually return back to the environment as they decompose, transform, are blown away in the wind or swept into the sea. EPHEMERAL documents a moment in time when artists in Southeast Alaska connect with nature while creating inspiring treasures in the rainforests and on the beaches.
