Bullfrog Films sponsors Wildlife Films Showcase

Between our Wildlife Films Showcase and TWS Featured Films session, conference attendees will have the opportunity to see 10 films during this year’s conference in Raleigh.

This year’s Wildlife Films Showcase is sponsored by Bullfrog Films, the leading U.S. publisher of independently-produced, environmental films. The corporation’s mission—to bring together programs that point the way to a new paradigm for living happily, healthily and sustainably—is reflected in several films we’ve chosen to screen during the conference.
