Who Are We?
Helping to build a greener future for Natural History Filmmaking
Filmmakers for future: wildlife (FF:W) is an international grassroots group set up to encourage collaboration across the wildlife TV sector and help speed up the transition to a greener, more impactful and less extractive industry.
Our main aims are to encourage collaboration on ways to:
1 - reduce our carbon footprint
2 - make more impactful content that inspires change
3 -move away from the extractive filmmaking model, how can we give back to the people and places we film.
Administered in Bristol, UK, we’re an international grassroots volunteer-led group. We provide an online platform for concerned wildlife filmmakers. Anyone involved in making natural history programmes can connect, learn from each other and from relevant experts to achieve these aims.
