about
Our mission is to tell character-driven stories through digital media that connect audiences with conservation campaigns to inspire action.
Pongo Media produces short character-driven films. These shorts act as a tool for conservation groups to define and develop campaign strategies and convene audiences. With experience in story development, cinematography, photography, film-editing post-production, and communications, Pongo Media can take your film project from concept through distribution.

Blending new media savvy skills and a passion for conservation, Jenny brings energy and insight to the new communications landscape.
Wahoo!
I love the idea of transpartency about your collborators. It’s such the 21st century idea of inclusion rather than exclusion–exactly what we need for more people to understand conservation so they can care about the issues and the characters driving change.
