The Wilds of San Diego 
A high definition film series promoting the natural diversity of San Diego County

Read Project Synopsis

The Wild of San Diego
I continue to work on the Wilds of San Diego using the Canon 7D to capture spectacular High Definition images of the county's natural diversity. I've edited a preview piece together with the footage I have so far. This preview is being shown at various venus around the county including The Reuben H Fleet Science Center. On July 27th it will be displayed at the “Nature Education Fair” at Mission Trail Regional Park.

MORE WILD WEB FILM SERIES IN PRODUCTION
This month I begin production on two new multi episode web projects. One series is for the Torrey Pines Association. It will be based on the various trails you can hike in Torrey Pines State Natural Reserve. The other series is for the City of San Diego - Open Space Division. It will explore the many parks, reserves and projects the city has to offer.

AMBIENT SOUNDTRACKS
Gary Johnson & Bill Olien of Resonant Drift have created new ambient soundtracks for the Yosemite and Sequoia Wilderness Theater pieces. We are looking into collaborating on longer film that may be part of a live performance in the future.

New Website Design
I redesigned this website with a cleaner design that focuses on Wilderness Theater and on-line nature films. There are a number of films now viewable on-line, from short web-films to 30 min. documentaries. More will be added over time.

IN PRODUCTION
Web Films
I recently completed two web films, one for the San Diego River Park Foundation on volunteerism and another for Friends of Rose Canyon about children harvesting and spreading native plant seeds. Three more are in production. Web Films are a great low cost way to reach the masses using social media sites like Vimeo and YouTube.

IN DEVELOPMENT
Wild Habitats of San Diego
With the rains we're having this season we can look forward to a spectacular spring. Many plants are already beginning to bloom. This would be a perfect year for filming the Wild Habitats of San Diego series. This is a multi organization media campaign to increase awareness of San Diego's spectacular natural diversity through a high definition film series presented in public spaces. This project could easily be expanded statewide. Please contact me for more information.
