Q: Do you feel more hopeful or less hopeful about the subject of your film upon completion, and why?

A: After filming these three conservation efforts, I am much more hopeful for a better outcome for these animal species and similar groups. People tend to tune out when thinking about the overwhelming magnitude of the problems these animals face. What happens in the environment can feel immense, but I learned that humans determine how the future plays out. Seeing these dedicated people helping groups of animals survive and even thrive is inspiring.
