Endangered Species Update

First of all, sorry for the delay between posts, we've been pretty busy for the last two weeks. Here's what's going on with the documentary:

On January 17, "Endangered Species: California Fish and Game Wardens," premiered at the International Sportsmen's Expo in Sacramento to a standing-room-only crowd, which stayed for a panel discussion hosted by KBFK radio show host Bob Simms, that included DFG Chief Nancy Foley, Warden Jerry Karnow, Judd Hanna from the CA Game Wardens Foundation, Greg Yarris from CA Waterfowl Association, Senator Dennis Hollingsworth, and San Francisco Chronicle Outdoor Columnist Tom Stienstra. (see photo) According to Tom Stienstra, it was the "biggest crowd of the day on the busiest day of ISE."

Here's some photos from the event, courtesy of Debra Hamilton from the CA DFG AV Unit:





On a personal note, we'd like to thank everybody who helped us out in the making of this documentary, from the county Fish & Game Commissions that gave us funding, to the Wardens who have shown us so much trust and support. Also, to the various agencies, foundations and groups that gave us pictures, video footage, and funding: You are in the credits, and have our sincerest thanks. A special thanks to Matt and Debra at the CA DFG AV Unit, who have been incredible helpers all along the way.

We're making a limited run of "pressed" copies for the CA Fish and Game Wardens Association, press, Fish & Game commissions, sponsors, etc. Our goal is to get the documentary out there as much as possible. We anticipate having them for sale online by Mid-February. Stay tuned.
