SENTINELS OF THE BOREAL – A Short Film by Tomas Koeck
The boreal forest is the largest piece of forested wilderness in the world. In the Americas, it stretches from Maine to Alaska and is a prominent biome in Europe and Asia. This forest is home to many different species of wildlife such as moose, warblers, and even wolves. Yet few of these species can capture the mystique as one of the most elusive animals in the world, the great gray owl. Join me, Tomas Koeck, as I take those who view this piece on a tour of what makes the boreal forest so special and why one should fight for the survival of this massive forest. This film was produced with the support of the Sacred Heart School of Communications, Media and Arts. This film was sponsored by Tamron USA, Sacred Heart SCMA, Milford Photo, and the Undergraduate Research Institute. This film was supported by Canon USA.
