who we are
Devon Galpin Clarke
CO CREATOR / WILDLIFE ACTIVIST
Devon Galpin Clarke was born and raised in the mountains of Breckenridge, Colorado where she fell in love with snow leopards at age four. Ever since then, she has been passionate about defending wildlife and has spearheaded local fundraisers to support conservation organizations dear to her heart. Back at home she works at the local dogsled kennel, socializing new litters of huskies and helping with immunizations. Devon is currently creating The Rosette graphic novel with Mariana Prieto and collaborated with Mexican artist, Diana Garcia on an extinction street art series which has been installed in three major cities and several smaller venues. Devon exhibits the spirit of her mother, and at 13-years-old she is already an intrepid explorer and defender of social justice, the upcoming generation will look to her for leadership.

Tony Di Zinno
CAMERA MAN
Over his career as a adventure photographer turned film maker, Tony has carved a niche as a specialist in subjects as diverse as Tibetan monks in exile in Kathmandu to F1 cars in Monaco. After working for a Rolling Stone photographer early on, Tony broke out on his own shooting portraits and action of iconic sports figures for Adidas, Nike and The North Face. He has worked with Mountain2Mountain in Afghanistan and the Lakota Sioux in the Black Hills. He has taught visual narrative at Art Center College of Design, Brooks Institute and presented papers at the SVA in New York City.
Rob Jackson
CAMERA MAN
Rob got into filmmaking after a year as a school teacher in Chilean Patagonia. Having fallen in love with the rivers, people, and spirit of that region, he traveled by bicycle and raft to produce his first documentary about a pending hydroelectric mega-project that would have scarred Chilean Patagonia forever. Ten years later those five dams and the world's longest power line were never built, and Rob has worked on many more film projects on subjects ranging from wilderness therapy for cancer survivors and war veterans to educational yoga, backpacking, and cooking courses to environmental pieces for Greenpeace, Patagonia, and National Geographic Adventure. He lives with his beloved wife, son, and dog (with a second son due soon!) in Longmont, Colorado.
