African Conservation Voices

​The African Wildlife Foundation and Jackson Wild have embarked on an exciting partnership to create the African Conservation Voices (ACV), an initiative which provides mentorship, training and resources for early to mid-career African video storytellers who have a demonstrated passion for conservation.

​On the heels of our successful pilot, we’ve embarked on planning for additional workshops to take place in the coming 12 months in Rwanda, Uganda and Zimbabwe.  We welcome collaborations and partnerships that will augment and expand our efforts.

​Filmmaker Fellowships

We are committed to bringing different viewpoints to the table in order to creatively engage new audiences to protect and restore our natural world. Two fellowship programs were created to provide financial support and mentorship for filmmakers who will help us diversify our community with regard to race, gender, culture, socioeconomics, geography, and domain knowledge.​ ​

Summer 2021 Editing Masterclass

Jackson Wild is proud to present an Editing Masterclass - an opportunity for Jackson Wild Collective members to take their editing skills to the next level in crafting more impactful stories. Led by Candice Odgers, an award-winning editor with over 18 years of experience in the natural history industry, this 7-week online interactive masterclass will incorporate seminars, case studies and hands-on projects to refine technical skills and explore the nuances of storytelling.

Although this Masterclass is over, we look forward to having more masterclasses on different topics!

2020 Wild Women Media Lab: Africa

Ten powerful women in conservation science and media from South Africa, Nigeria, Tanzania, Mozambique, Rwanda, Zambia and Kenya were selected for the NEWF Wild Women Media Lab. From 10th - 22nd August 2020, the cohort engaged in intensive online filmmaking workshops with industry experts and mentors from around the world to guide them through the process of producing a micro-film – a first time experience for all. Each participant was provided with a media making legacy package, allowing them to each develop, film and edit their stories in just a few days. The NEWF Wild Women Media Lab has been designed in partnership with Jackson Wild and is supported by HHMI Tangled Bank Studios, American Film Showcase, the United States Mission South Africa and National Geographic Society.
