Goal
Welcome to the 2021 Campaign! We are excited to be a viewer-funded production company celebrating our 11th year! Details about all of the WILD Perks and donation levels can be found below. Thanks for helping us to Stay WILD if you can!
This WILD year begins with Alaska! The Producer of our Texas Special (2015) and Maine Special (2015) is at it again! Ron has contributed to numerous campaigns and we are grateful for this epic opportunity! Thanks to Ron the amount we need to raise for this adventure is zero! That's right. Zero! While there won't be additional producer credits on this one, we wanted to let everybody know it's our first adventure this summer! And as a bonus it will be my first solo-directing effort (for a special), which I'm anxiously excited about! EVERYBODY will get to experience this WILD region when "Alaska — The Frontier of Adventure" is released!
Next up we have Hawaii! Last year we had a flight booked to Hawaii for a HUMANTHEM short film, then the world shut down. We still have the flight credit which has helped to bring down the cost of this adventure! The plan is to focus on the coast and the many initiatives being done to help protect the ocean and its inhabitants. We will film this summer and if we exceed the goal a bit, we may be able to hop to at least one additional island! :)
Can you believe we are entering Season 5?! We hope to get 10 - 12+ episodes this year! We will be filming in Texas and Oklahoma with the original WILDsides crew! Since basecamp will be back in Austin soon it will be much easier to coordinate WILDsides productions! :)
And we have New Zealand! With a WILD boost from long-time Producer Gavan Hogg, we are finally able to put NZ in a campaign! This is incredible and will be an epic adventure! Gavan gifted the cost of one flight and a bit extra for my Birthday last year — he did this knowing the whole world was shut down and travel would be impossible for a long time. Studying at home and doing everything I could to help protect my family and others, such a gift filled me with anticipation for brighter days. He also gave me a choice — I could keep the gift for myself or I could make it part of a much bigger Primitive Planet campaign. Of course he knew what I would do. I'm taking you guys with me! :)
And finally we have The WILD Book! Just imagine if you could get all of the salacious, mind-blowing, behind-the-scenes tell-all detai-- just kidding!! This is a book about the WILD and the title is under wraps for now. It is being written by the creators of WILDerland, myself and director Brian. We have estimated a relatively small amount for cover artwork fees. If we end up raising a bit more we might be able to add illustrations and a cool back cover. We are excited to share our imaginations in a different format, and to create something additional to help inspire kids of all ages to get outside, go exploring, and make a difference! :)

Thank you for helping us to Stay WILD if you can! Please remember that our budget estimates are the bare minimum to get us adventuring. Any amount exceeding our Goal helps a ton and makes things even WILDer! Donations go toward everything from airfare, music licensing, on-location meals and campsites, to necessary gear, shipping expenses for Perks, and fishing bait. We truly appreciate contributions of any size.
Most perks require address and email in order to send you the perks. This contact info is used strictly to send you perks. Contributions are not tax deductible and all perks are based on the goal being reached. We reserve the right to adjust perks and delivery dates based on the amount raised. Anonymous donations will receive physical / digital Perks (if addresses are provided) but will not receive public credit. Thanks so much!
