Our Long Path to the Giant Screen and Why We Think the Medium Matters

Andrew Young and Susan Todd, the filmmakers behind the award-winning film Backyard Wilderness, share why the giant screen has such a vital role in educational media

Susan and I feel unbelievably fortunate to have not only finished our first Giant Screen film, Backyard Wilderness, but to have received a big nod from our peers in the industry. Ever since our first conference, the GSCA has been incredibly welcoming to us as newcomers.
