Running Wild with Storytelling: Crafting Conservation Narratives That Inspire Change
Description
Meet Justin Grubb and Alex Goetz, the remarkable duo behind Running Wild Media, whose passion for wildlife has transformed childhood dreams into a pioneering force in conservation storytelling. Travel back with Justin to his high school zoo school days where "Running Wild" first took root, and follow Alex’s path from aspiring zookeeper to filmmaker, fueled by awe-inspiring series like Planet Earth. Together, their stories unfold into a narrative enriched with humor and shared enthusiasm, charting how their unique experiences converged at Bowling Green State University to birth a media company that’s reshaping the way we connect with nature.
Immerse yourself in the art of conservation storytelling, where the focus is not just on breathtaking wildlife but the communities that bring these stories to life. We explore how starting with a clear impact in mind and using a theory of change can craft narratives that resonate deeply with audiences, as illustrated by films like "Hellbent." Through meaningful characters and engaging storytelling, we highlight the transformative potential of documentaries to inspire global conservation efforts, making viewers active participants in preserving our planet.
