  Full Bio: Elena Jean is an award-winning filmmaker, content creator and creative entrepreneur. Her work centres around reconnecting with the wild and wellness, in the spirit of hope, beauty, ingenuity and adventure.  Elena is a co-founder of Coexistence Films, an impact production house dedicated to stories about interconnectedness and intelligent, bold and allied action for systemic change.    Impending extinction comes to a tipping point for one of the world’s most iconic species — the Southern Resident killer whales. For two filmmakers, this crisis sparks a stunning journey across the Pacific Northwest. They join activists, scientists and Indigenous leaders, in an attempt to uncover corruption and stop injustice before it’s too late.   Elena's home-base is in Tofino, British Columbia, within the traditional territory of the Tla-o-qui-aht First Nation, surrounded by the coastal rainforest and mountains of Vancouver Island. Elena is an avid adventurer, runner, surfer, certified diver and multi-faceted creative, with a lively sense of humour and insatiable curiousity. She's passionate about impactful stories and how they shape culture, as well as reconnecting with the wild and wellness.   Winner:  Rob Stewart Eco Warrior Award at VIFF   Coextinction is currently premiering and screening at festivals globally.  Follow us at @coextinctionfilm and subscribe below for action alerts!   www.coextinctionfilm.com www.about.me/elena.jean www.elenajean.com www.instagram.com/elena.jean   @coextinctionfilm @centerforwhaleresearch #wearetheorca #seashepardvancouver #marinemammalrescue @marinemammalrescue #robstewart #Ecowarrior @elena.jean #elena.jean @one.species #orcalabbc @orcalabbc @waterbearnetwork @documentary @#wearetheorca #seashepard #greenpeace #suzukifoundation @willgeorge36 @seashepardfrance @seashepard @gloriapancrazi @andrewluba @little.gypsea
