REIMAGINING OUR INDUSTRY
Accelerating Change with a Commitment to Action
Our annual Jackson Wild™ Summit brings together an uncommon community, bound by a shared sense of purpose. We all believe in the transformative power of story to inspire awe at the wonders of our natural world and ignite critical changes required to restore and protect it through high-impact global collaborations.
In the midst of global social isolation, the catalyzing conversations that the Jackson Wild™ Summit is known for are more relevant than ever, making this year’s virtual Summit one not to miss.
This year, we are making the most of this collective pause by reflecting on the state of the industry through action committees tasked with reimagining the transformative power of our community. At the heart of the Summit, we will work together on tangible actions that make our industry more diverse, inclusive, green and impactful.
This gathering will be our most inclusive yet! By eliminating the physical barriers associated with travel and by also significantly reducing registration fees, Jackson Wild is leaning into creating deeper connections through an expanded slate of one-on-one mentorship, networking and pitching experiences than have ever been possible before.
We remain committed to elevating global voices and early career filmmakers who are eager to tell the stories they witness firsthand. To continue supporting this initiative, we will host a digital edition of the Jackson Wild™ Media Lab, as well as a greatly expanded virtual Fellowship and Mentorship program, plus additional discounts for students/educators and nonprofits.
This year’s Summit will focus on engaging and interactive programs, including opportunities to:
