And The Nature Film Oscar Goes To…

Last Thursday, the #winners of the internationally acclaimed Jackson Wild Media Awards – known as the "Oscars of nature #film" - were announced. Terra Mater Studios received three prizes,?which marks a prestigious success for our company.

In the category?"Writing", the winner was the "The Elephant and the Termite", a co-production of Waterhole Films, Terra Mater Studios, NHK, Japan Broadcasting Corporation , Corporation for Public Broadcasting and The WNET Group in association with PBS . The movie tells an intriguing story written by Mark Deeble about a remarkable relationship between #elephants and termites as they shape a waterhole together.

This year, we submitted for the first time a short form production of our YouTube channel. It paid off:?"How Sperm Whales Learned to Outsmart their Hunters", about how sperm #whales learned to evade 19th-century whalers, won the "Animal Behavior – Short Form" prize. Watch here the video written by Ruth Berry and produced by Eva Schmidt , Head of Digital & Communications of Terra Mater Studios:

"This award is very special for us," says Walter K?hler, CEO of Terra Mater Studios, "since it honours one of the many outstanding videos on our Terra Mater YouTube channel. We launched our channel in order to directly engage with our audience and to build up a #community dedicated to important topics concerning #conservation and the #environment. To see it growing day by day makes us proud. And winning the Jackson Wild Media Award is fantastic recognition on top."

And another award triggers great joy at our company: Yaz Ellis, a mentee of Terra Mater Studios' Executive Producer Birgit Peters at Jackson Wild Mentorship Programm 2021, was awarded for?"Best Cinematography – Short Form"?with her film "Beavers about Town".

Yaz will receive training for working on a RED camera, which has always been a dream of hers and will also be involved in one of Terra Mater Studios' next productions about #wildlife in #Vienna.
