Back from the Brink: Resurgence of the Catalina Island Fox, is an Official Selection for the 24th annual Wild & Scenic Film Festival which will take place in-person February 19-23, 2026.   We are grateful to the team at the Catalina Island Conservancy for giving us the opportunity to create this film. You can learn more about the festival at https://wildandscenicfilmfestival.org. Once teetering on the brink of extinction, the Santa Catalina Island Fox made a dramatic recovery. Its resurgence marks one of the greatest conservation success stories in United States history.

For the past 30 years I have been working with the The Kalish Visual Editing Workshop as faculty and a board member. I’m excited that we are now hiring an Executive Director to lead The Kalish in the future. For 35 years, The Kalish has served the journalism community through career-changing workshops attended by visual leaders throughout the profession. We are ready to be more. The Kalish Board of Directors is seeking our next leader to help us transform into an organization that supports visual editors throughout their careers. This is a newly defined role for the workshop, aimed at long-term growth in programming and financial stability. The deadline to apply is December 5th. Learn more and apply at the Kalish site.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of MediaStorm, a milestone that honors two decades of storytelling, collaboration, training, technical innovation and social impact.
