NYC and US Screenings for Oscar Nominations

Help '500 Days in the Wild' Reach the Oscars 2025

With immense gratitude, your support has helped us get qualified for the Oscars 2025!!!

However, we are still a long way from being on the stage. The next step is to get 500 Days in the Wild in front of the documentary voters. To do this, we need to increase our marketing campaign and raise awareness to as many viewers as we can. Hot off the tails of the Maui Film Festival, the buzz in the USA is papabile.

Why We are continuing to Fundraise

500 Days has officially qualified for submission to the 2025 Oscars Awards.

Our next step is to have screenings in NY and other states and increase our marketing to reach out to the Documentary Oscar voters

The funds raised in this campaign will go directly towards:

* Marketing and publicity costs

* Theatre rental expenses

* Any necessary travel costs for Director Dianne Whelan to attend screenings

Why This Matters

"500 Days in the Wild". Being nominated for the Oscars would bring immense visibility to the film, allowing us to start important conversations about climate change, land stewardship, and the power of the human spirit.
