Chris Cilfone: The Next Generation
The Next Generation is a short film that celebrates one of the most successful conservation campaigns in history: Save the Whales. Save the Whales was a campaign that was sparked by the very first Earth Day and inspired that generation's eco-warriors. Now, a new wave of conservation is here. One that demands action. One that is built on hope and one that continues to go green but, at its core, will always be blue.

About The Nat Geo Wild To Inspire Short Film Contest
Thank you to all the filmmakers who submitted their films to the 2020 Nat Geo Wild to Inspire Short Film Contest!
In celebration of the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, the 7th edition of the Nat Geo Wild to Inspire Short Film Contest sought films inspired by the natural world. We believe that great storytelling can spark curiosity, help solve big problems and catalyze actions. Fifty years after the first Earth Day, how will you use the power of film to explore these conversations in the 21st century?
In the past, the contest has included prizes such as:
- Film screening and recognition during Sun Valley Film Festival awards ceremony
- Opportunities to network with established producers and directors
- National Geographic expeditions around the world
