Hellbent Screens at WCS Film Festival in NYC

We’re thrilled to share that our short film Hellbent was recently featured at the WCS (Wildlife Conservation Society) Film Festival in New York City! The film was selected as part of the festival’s showcase of conservation storytelling from around the world.

Filmmakers Alex Goetz and Justin Grubb attended the event in person, participating in a post-screening Q&A and connecting with fellow conservation storytellers. The festival, in NYC and organized by WCS, brought together an inspiring lineup of films that explore our changing planet, wildlife resilience, and the power of human action.

We’re honored to have Hellbent included in this year’s lineup, and grateful for the opportunity to share this story with a passionate audience of filmmakers, scientists, and nature lovers.
