Check out the work of our Film Production graduate 🎬

Not Yet Extinct is a documentary exploring the new challenges conservationists face following successful wildlife population recovery. Filmed between Kenya and the Netherlands, the project looks at how conservation success can create unexpected pressures for both animals and the people protecting them.

Created using a solo-documentarian approach, the project pushed Kylian far beyond his comfort zone and became a major period of creative, technical, and personal development.

The film is currently in post-production, with the final release expected this summer. Anyone interested in supporting the project or helping push it over the finish line is welcome to reach out via DM -
