Animal Facts Club
Animal Facts Club is an educational, artistically innovative short series about science. It blends large-scale sets, puppetry, animation and choreography with documentary segments. The goal of AFC is to educate and inspire curiosity about the natural world both in children and imaginative adults. The first film is about the nearly extinct Attwater Prairie Chicken and the critically endangered Houston Toad who both have incredible mating displays.
