Join us to celebrate FSU communication alumnus Elam Stoltzfus’ 30 years as a filmmaker on Sunday, March 30, from 4 until 6 p.m. The event will begin with a free screening of his Emmy-award winning documentary, “Florida Wildlife Corridor”, followed by a panel discussion and reception.
The film chronicles how four explorers traveled 1000 miles in 100 days from the Florida Everglades to southern Georgia’s Okefenokee Swamp in 2012. Stoltzfus served as the cinematographer/director who documented the expedition to produce a film about their journey and the Florida Wildlife Corridor. This documentary won an Emmy award and been shown nationwide on public television (learn more about it at: floridawildlifecorridor.org).
After the screening, Stoltzfus will join a panel to speak about topics such as film-making art and the environment. Other panelists will include members of the Florida Wildlife Corridor expedition team and FSU School of Communication Professor, Dr. Andrew Opel.
An exclusive look at Stoltzfus’ previous work will be featured as part of this 30-year anniversary event celebrating him as a filmmaker.
