“The first season is Wildlife Wranglers: Making Cougar Crossings. It features candid behind the scenes footage from Cougar Crossings, our coming of age film about orphan cubs, now airing in ten countries.

We worked with Matthew Todd on the original documentary and see this as an outstanding companion series for our audience. We predict this series will not only be a great addition to our schedules but also a great educational resource”.

Having known Matthew Todd for his work and tenacity over many years, when he told us about his series and premiere at Ranchman's during the Calgary International Film Festival, we eagerly offered to support this bold industry-building initiative”.
