Thank you Abbeville Bird and Nature Festival! We were so honored to have been selected and wish we could have attended in person. You generosity in arranging attendance is so appreciated and if other situations had not happened we both would have been there! So sorry we missed it. Thank you for translating our video to French. I would love to get a copy. Keep up the great work focusing on our beautiful planet!

Excellent festival ! Une référence incontournable sur le thème de la nature en France. J'ai eu la chance d'y être en sélection avec mon film Mamody, le dernier creuseur de baobabs. Une organisation impeccable et très amicale. Je le recommande vivement aux spectateurs mais aussi aux réalisateurs.
