Rattlesnake Film Project

This is a story of disappearance—of animals fading from the landscapes and ecological communities. Being silenced by fear and myths.

But this is not just a story of loss.

It’s a story of resilience. Of people stepping forward—giving their time, their knowledge, and their resources—to protect what remains. To stand in the gap for a animal that has long been misunderstood.

Rooted in the enduring spirit of “Don’t Tread On Me,” this film is a call to shift the narrative on feared, dangerous wildlife

And it’s not meant to be told alone.

Friends, this film about shifting the narrative about rattlesnakes and community is coming along - scene by scene, place by place. But it takes a team to get it across the finish line - viewing it on the big screen at film festivals and getting it in front of people who might not seek it out. 

That's why I asking for help: monetary donations or resources to finish the film.

What's on the horizon: 

• Travel costs and supplies to go to Mexico for Project Obscurus, including airfare, accommodations, transport, and camping supplies
• Enlisting and paying a professional Editor, Color grader, audio specialist, and animator/graphic designer
• Film Festival costs, including entry costs, travel, accommodations, and other 

I have the vision but I can't do this without friends and professionals to help make this film better, and get the story out into the world.

I'm eternally grateful to Tiffany Bright, Sean McKnight, The Rattlesnake Conservancy, Tom Weaver and Stephen Cumberworth from the Arizona Sonoran Desert Museum, Michael Brennan from the University of Georgia, Joseph Colbert and the Jekyll Island Authority, Paul Mobley and the Whigham Rattlesnake Roundup, and Jason Clark with Southeast Reptile Rescue for all the help, patience, and connections.

More to come as we continue this journey!
