Episode 1: A Bear Votes / Sprawlzilla / Mountaintop Removal

Travel back in time to discover how the very first Free Range movies came about through exclusive interviews with founders Louis Fox and Jonah Sachs. How did short Flash movies with minimal sound effects and old-school animation manage to connect with hundred of thousands of viewers? Watch me dig deep into the artistic minds behind the animation with my probing questions and disarming style!

Episode 3: Save Chilean Sea Bass

Episode 3: Save Chilean Sea Bass

Once again, we tackled a serious topic -- the significant overfishing of Chilean Sea Bass -- with humor, simplicity, and a sassy talking fish. Do you still eat unsustainably farmed Chilean Sea Bass? I don't! While you’re at it, maybe stop eating chicken too? What? Am I being too pushy?
Coming October 6th!

Episode 4: The Meatrix

Episode 4: The Meatrix

Choose the red pill (or is it the blue pill? I can never remember!) to step inside The Meatrix, our most famous film to date. Tens of millions of people have been educated about the dangers of factory farming through The Meatrix, which has been translated into more than 30 languages. After I grill my human colleagues on the making of The Meatrix, be sure to check out the two sequels: The Meatrix II: Revolting, and The Meatrix II 1/2.
Coming December 13th!

Episode 5: Grocery Store Warsl

Episode 5: Grocery Store Wars

You know by now we love a good parody -- in Grocery Store Wars we re-imagined the epic narrative of Star Wars as a lighthearted version of the real battle between delicious, sustainable produce (personified by Cuke Sykwalker) and pesticide covered villains like Darth Tater. Watch as I investigate how this creative, hilarious, mouth-watering film was made!
Coming January 10th!
