Amazing documentary. I have no idea how the filmmakers did it but it looks and feels more like narrative. Stunning cinematography. Not sure for how long but it’s currently available to watch for free on Documentary+.
While some details are different, the trailer almost feels like it could be for my screenplay Garamba.

- 2021 Stowe Story Labs Final Draft Honorable Mention!
So excited to share that my feature screenplay Garamba was selected as the 2021 Stowe Story Labs Final Draft Honorable Mention, which means I get to attend their program later this year!
If anyone has participated in the Stowe Story Labs in the past, I would greatly appreciate any advice on how to get the most out of the experience. Feel free to reach out to me.
The screenplay is set in Garamba, a national park in DR Congo that stands at the forefront in the fight to stop elephant poaching. Poaching in all of Africa persists as a crisis as elephants face critical levels of extinction throughout the continent. Hopefully, this story can continue to bring awareness of the situation and the people who work so hard to solve it.
