The production is the second collaboration between the Bell Museum and the Bristol-based team at Ravenwood Studios UK, led by the award-winning director Neil Lucas. Inspired by the images of award-winning nature photographer Jim Brandenburg, the film is the latest collaboration between Ravenwood Studios UK and the Bell Museum.
