Welcome to Pelican Media
Based in San Francisco, California, Pelican Media is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization whose primary aim is the production of films with environmental themes.
Our special focus is on urban habitat: the relationships between people and animals. Recent projects include films about a flock of wild parrots in San Francisco, California brown pelicans along the coast, and double-crested cormorants on a Columbia River island.
Our revenue comes from foundations, individuals, organizations, government grants, broadcast rights, film royalties, stock footage sales, DVD/streaming distribution, and other program-related sources. Executive Director Judy Irving is an Emmy-and-Sundance-award-winning filmmaker.
THE WILD PARROTS OF TELEGRAPH HILL (4K) screened April 12 at a sold-out show at the Roxie, in memory of Mark Bittner who died March 1. The new distributor is Kino Lorber.
PELICAN DREAMS streams on Amazon and Docuseek. See Kanopy to stream COLD REFUGE.
DARK CIRCLE & NAGASAKI JOURNEY screened last fall in Berlin, Bogota Columbia, Las Vegas, and online (Physicians for Social Responsibility).
We've started a few film project entitled TIME IN THE WILD. More details soon...!
