Synopsis Upstream Odyssey takes viewers on a breathtaking journey into the heart of one of the world’s most vital ecosystems—where wild salmon, iconic wildlife, and untamed landscapes are deeply connected. From grizzly bears and wolves that forage along the riverbanks, to orca whales and eagles that depend on the salmon for survival, this film explores the powerful role these fish play in sustaining life across land and sea.

Through stunning visuals and intimate storytelling, Upstream Odyssey traces the perilous migration of wild salmon as they navigate their way upstream, highlighting not only their remarkable resilience but also the complex web of life that depends on their seasonal return. Along the way, audiences will witness the profound interdependence of creatures like sea lions, black bears, wolverines, and ospreys—each species playing a pivotal role in the health of this vibrant ecosystem.

Synopsis Wild Rescue chronicles wildlife that people of all ages and from every walk of life can relate to seen through the intimate lens and pioneering, state-of-the-art wildlife hospital located in picturesque Santa Barbara, CA. Whether someone lives in New York or Los Angeles, the suburbs, coastline or countryside, they likely have met a raccoon or two, and most probably even have encountered a skunk, if not an entire skunk family. These animals and thousands of others just like them have one big thread common with people – we live right alongside each other!

Wild Rescue documents the passionate story behind the Santa Barbara Wildlife Care Network, the fragile journey of rescuing injured animals from out in the wild, their rehabilitation by their team of dedicated veterinarians and volunteers, and the release of the animals for a “second chance at a wild life.”

Synopsis Black holes, the big bang, space that can bend and ripple. So much of our understanding of the cosmos comes from Albert Einstein’s radical ideas about gravity. Designed and conceived for the largest screens in our galaxy, Einstein’s Incredible Universe takes audiences on a spellbinding journey through space and time, as well as into Einstein’s imagination during some of his most famous “thought experiments.” The film tells the stories of two contemporary astrophysicists, Andrea Ghez (2020 Nobel-laureate) and Nergis Mavalvala (Dean of Science at MIT), who were inspired by Einstein growing up and are now building on his theories in ways that would have astonished even him. With major funding from the National Science Foundation, Einstein’s Incredible Universe will launch alongside a robust educational outreach campaign in 2026.
