Created for a New York Festivals competition in early 2025, this award-winning film began as a chance to give back and learn. We built a team, taught ourselves emerging AI tools, and created a story with a scale and imagination we never could have captured through a traditional shoot.

We won the competition, but the more meaningful outcome was making something genuinely useful. The Duke Lemur Center continues to use the film to tell the story of its vital research and conservation work, helping attract the corporate and individual support it increasingly depends on.
