Ben Kalina - Director/Producer
I'm interested in where science, culture and the environment intersect, and that's what I do in my work. I was the Associate Producer of Two Square Miles and A Sea Change, two amazing films along these lines, and I live with my family in a funky row home in South Philly, yo.

My amazing, hard-working, vastly under-paid (i.e., barely not-really-paid) principal crew:
Jen Schneider - Director of Cinematography
Ian Markiewicz - Sound/Lighting/Camera
Alex Tyson - Editor
Caroline Savage - Outreach Coordinator
