OSCAR QUALIFYING CAMPAIGN

Help '500 Days in the Wild' Reach the Oscars 2025

Who We Are

"500 Days in the Wild," a documentary by award-winning filmmaker Dianne Whelan. The film chronicles Dianne's epic 24,000 km (16,000 miles), six-year journey hiking, biking, paddling, snowshoeing, and skiing across Canada. It's a story of determination, connection to the land, and finding hope in the face of climate change.

Why We're Fundraising

500 Days is on the next leg of the Oscar qualifying campaign. Winning awards and screened at festivals, moving audiences with its message of environmentalism, human resilience, and connection to the land.

To qualify we needed to do 21 screenings in LA and WE DID!!!

The funds raised in this campaign will go directly towards:

* Marketing and publicity costs

* Application fees

* Any necessary travel and accommodation

* Theatre rental expenses

Why This Matters

"500 Days in the Wild" deserves a wider audience. Qualifying for the Oscars would bring immense visibility to the film, allowing us to start important conversations about climate change, land stewardship, and the power of the human spirit.
