2013 Judges

Final Jury

Picture
David Allen has produced and directed landmark natural history television programmes for over twenty years. With four Emmys; five Wildscreen Pandas; and three Jackson Hole awards to his name, he is recognised as one of the leading independent producers in his field. His most recent film: My Life as a Turkey (PBS/BBC 2011) earned an Emmy, a Jackson Hole Award, and the Wildscreen Golden Panda.

Starting out shooting and directing his own documentary material for BBC’s Modern Times and working with the specialist studios of Oxford Scientific Films, David crafted an innovative style that pushed at the genre of storytelling with people and wildlife. Today, his production company, Passion Planet, is a collaboration with Oscar-winning Passion Pictures, and is currently embarking upon a five part series entitled Earth in the Age of Man (PBS / National Geographic) which is a portrait of 21st century Natural History as it really is, with us in the picture.

Picture
Greg Diefenbach is the managing director and co-founder of Alliant Content, LLC., a company pioneering online channel creation and digital content delivery for the non-fiction industry. His work in television has spanned the creative and the business side, as a producer for National Geographic to his work in global co-production and distribution for Disney/ABC subsidiary Devillier Donegan Enterprises and as the senior VP of Television Programming for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. 

Greg has created successful programming across many genres--from history and science to natural history and docudrama--and has earned broad recognition for his work, including an Emmy and Peabody award. Greg owes much to the JHWFF: he met his now wife at the first Festival he attended in 1999! He now lives with his wife and two young boys in Washington, DC.

Picture
Richard Hutton is executive director of the Carsey-Wolf Center and adjunct professor in the Film and Media Studies Department at UC, Santa Barbara. Previously, he was vice president of media development for Vulcan, Inc. overseeing Vulcan Productions’ feature film and documentary units and directing all of its media development projects, including initiatives in the education, museum and entertainment sectors. Under his direction, Vulcan Productions programs garnered several Peabody, Emmy, Grammy and Humanitas awards. Prior to Vulcan, Richard was senior vice president of creative development at Walt Disney Imagineering and vice president and general manager of the Disney Institute. Before this, he was senior vice president, television programming and production, for WETA Television in Washington, D.C., and director of public affairs programming for WNET, in New York. Richard has authored or co-authored nine books and medical texts as well as several articles for national publications.

Picture
Flo Stone is President & Founder of the Environmental Film Festival in the Nation's Capital, which she launched in 1993. Previously, she worked for 15 years on public programming at the American Museum of Natural History, where she initiated the Margaret Mead Film Festival and was its co-Chair from 1977-84. In 1986, Flo was the Film Chair for the Smithsonian's National Forum on Biodiversity and she established the annual Earthwatch Film Awards for documentaries at the National Geographic (1986-2009). Flo authored filmographies for the US Festival of Indonesia and the Ocean Planet exhibit at the Smithsonian. She has served on film festival juries in Washington DC, Missoula, Montana and Telluride, Colorado, as well as the Green Film Festival in Korea, FICA in Brazil, Cineambiente in Italy, CineEco in Portugal, and the SunChild Film Festival in Armenia.

Picture
Susan Todd is an Academy Award-nominated producer, writer, director and the co-founder of Archipelago Films. She has spent the last 20 years making cutting edge, character-based films and television programs for HBO, National Geographic, Nova, PBS and the Wildlife Conservation Society. With her partner, cinematographer Andrew Young, Susan has enjoyed working in both fiction and documentary genres. She is currently developing a large format theatrical presentation about the secret life of wetlands, inspired by a family of beavers and wood ducks that the Todd-Youngs have been filming in their back yard pond. She is also developing Julie of the Wolves, a fiction film set in the Arctic based on Jean Craighead George's classic young adult novel. Her films have received Emmy, Sundance Film Festival and Jackson Hole Wildlife Film Festival awards.
