An enthusiastic round of applause for Best of Show winner Susan Kucera for In the Company of Wolves: An American Journey! Narrated by Oscar-winner Jeff Bridges, this fascinating documentary goes far beyond the story of wolves, exploring how human perceptions of animals have shaped mythology, culture, and American history. Through breathtaking cinematography, archival footage, reenactments, science, history, Indigenous perspectives, and contemporary conservation, Kucera examines the very different ways people have understood their place in the natural world—and how those competing perspectives have helped shape the American landscape. Wolves emerge not as the villains of folklore, but as essential participants in a complex natural order, offering new perspectives on survival, communication, and the consequences of disrupting the balance between species. With Bridges bringing curiosity, humanity, and gravitas to the story, In the Company of Wolves becomes a compelling meditation on our relationship with the natural world and what it reveals about who we are.

Congratulations to Outstanding Achievement winner Mike Southerly for his Feature Film Lost with You! Set along the hiking trails above Los Angeles, the film brings together two strangers from opposite sides of the political spectrum who unexpectedly find themselves drawn into conversation – and, perhaps, something more. As a conservative and a liberal walk and talk their way through philosophy, family, faith, and deeply held beliefs, a precisely crafted script uses humor, chemistry, and curiosity to explore whether connection is possible without agreement. Beautifully unfolding over one golden Los Angeles day, Lost with You combines authentic cinematography, clever vignettes, unexpected characters, and wry humor to offer a thoughtful look at America’s cultural divide while keeping its focus firmly on the humanity beneath opposing viewpoints. The film features Madison Shamoun (Black-ish, The Lake, All American) and Jake Short (A.N.T. Farm, Dexter, The First Team), with appearances by Emmy-nominee Susan Ruttan (L.A. Law), Jim Cody Williams (Breaking Bad), Stephanie Drake (Mad Men), and Ben Onyx Dowdy (Abbott Elementary). Congratulations to Mike Southerly and the entire team behind this timely and thoughtfully crafted film! Read more here:
