Witness the Wild. Choose Its Future.
Tilting Tripods Wildlife is a documentary storytelling studio on a mission to protect wild places by changing how people see them. We tell the untold stories of animals living on the edge of ecosystems, at the intersection of human development, and in the realm of public awareness.
Through immersive wildlife filmmaking and bold conservation storytelling, we bring viewers face-to-face with the choices that shape the future of wild places.
From the heart of Yellowstone to the swamps of Florida, our cameras tilt toward truth, capturing beauty, tension, and the fragile line between coexistence and conflict. This isn’t just nature. This is the moment to decide what wild means to us.
Raw Truth. Real Stories.

Watch our cinematic storytelling projects that bring you face to face with the wild, where beauty, conflict, and the future of coexistence collide
Introducing The Choice
The Choice is a bold, multi-part documentary series that challenges how we see misunderstood wildlife and the systems that shape their fate.
In Season 1, we follow Yellowstone’s grizzlies beyond the park boundary into the fractured spaces where protection ends, politics take over, and coexistence becomes a question of courage. Through real bear families, firsthand accounts, and the people on both sides of the line, The Choice reveals the illusion of safety and asks: What will we do with the truth?
Coming Soon: The Wildline
Where conservation meets community, and action starts with awareness.
The Wildline is our new platform for bold ideas, untold stories, and the tools to protect what matters. From community interviews to real-world coexistence solutions, this is where the conversation goes deeper—and where you become part of it.
Through the Lens
A curated look at the still moments that move us—from the forests of Yellowstone to the swamps of Florida.
As explorers of the wild, we believe there’s nothing quite like the thrill of discovering something new in untamed wilderness
By venturing into the lesser-seen corners of our world and spotlighting stories that often go untold, we hope to inspire a deeper commitment to conservation and coexistence.
Because when people see differently, they choose differently.
