GLP Films Celebrates 10th Anniversary with New Video Series

10-Part Video Series, “120 Seconds to Change the World” celebrates change-makers behind a decade of impactful and award-winning storytelling in travel and sustainability

 

Kennebunkport, Maine (August 8, 2018) -- GLP Films, an award-winning content marketing agency specializing in storytelling and distribution for the travel and sustainability industries, celebrates their 10th anniversary with the launch of a new video series spanning a decade of work.  The series entitled “120 Seconds to Change the World,” is an ambitious collection of ten (10) new 2-minute videos aimed to celebrate and inspire through untold stories of the change-makers behind the company’s most impactful films.

For the past three decades, Rosmarie Ruf has dedicated her life to protecting the endangered okapi endemic to the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Given the country’s instability and share of challenges, some would say it is no place for a woman. But after the passing of her husband, Rosmarie stepped into the role of Director of the Okapi Conservation Project and has quietly become the Jane Goodall of okapi conservation. Although she says the okapi are the ones that saved her, Rosmarie just might be the unsung hero to save these ‘ghosts of the forest.’ "120 Seconds to Change the World" is a 10-part video series celebrating GLP Films' 10th Anniversary and a decade of storytelling in the travel and sustainability industries. The ambitious collection of new videos aims to celebrate and inspire through the untold stories of the change-makers behind GLP's most impactful films. New videos will be released each month from August 2018 through May 2019. Visit www.glpfilms.com/120-seconds-to-change-the-world or #120secondstochangetheworld for the latest videos. This film was produced by GLP Films with special thanks to The Okapi Conservation Project. Learn more about The Okapi Project at www.okapiconservation.org.
