interactive programs, including keynotes, panels, workshops,
roundtables, speed pitching and masterclasses.
“By eliminating the physical barriers associated with travel and
by also significantly reducing registration fees, Jackson Wild is
leaning into creating deeper connections through an expanded
slate of one-on-one mentorship, collaborative committees, and
pitching experiences than have ever been possible before,”
organizers said in a statement.
In addition, Jackson Wild will remain committed in its elevation
of early career filmmakers and diverse global voices by hosting
a digital edition of the Jackson Wild Media Lab, created with
HHMI/Tangled Bank Studios and Day’s Edge Productions. The
organization has also expanded its virtual Fellowship and
Mentorship programs.
Applications for all programs are now open.
Registration for the 2020 Jackson Wild Summit and Media
Labs opens Aug. 10.

Jackson Wild executive director Lisa Samford in a statement
said: “The challenge facing each of us is how can we,
individually and collectively, amplify and accelerate change to
help drive new solutions to the challenges we are facing? What
can we do together, alongside this uncommon community, to
inspire our combined audiences of billions of people to better
care for all life on our beautiful planet? At a time when nothing
less than the fate of our world is at stake, there is no better
place and no better company to tackle these questions than at
the 2020 Jackson Wild Summit.”
