Conservation Convos: Secrets

Thursday, November 5 | 6:30pm Enjoy a screening of the newest, breathtaking giant screen documentary, Secrets of Great Salt Lake 3D that explores the unique ecosystem and rich history of Great Salt Lake in Utah. After the film, hear from director and producer, Tyler Mifflin, on why he created the film and the importance of the lake. Tyler Mifflin began working for SK Films over 16 years ago but his passion for the Giant Screen/IMAX medium and its immersive power began at a young age when he went to see his first Giant Screen film at the Ontario Science Centre over 30 years ago. Those incredible film experiences had an immense impact on Tyler by bringing him to places he only dreamed he could travel to and introduced him to an amazing diversity of wildlife that filled him with boundless curiosity about how the natural world works. That curiosity led Tyler to become a documentary filmmaker who has now produced, directed and filmed dozens of projects in 35 countries. Tyler most recently directed, produced and shot the 3D Giant Screen film Secrets of Great Salt Lake, and is also the co-creator, co-host, and director of the award-winning eco-adventure documentary TV series, The Water Brothers, which explores the world’s biggest environmental challenges and solutions. The 5th season of the show was recently awarded the Best Science & Nature Series at the 2024 Canadian Screen Awards. As the Managing Director of SK Films, Tyler has a wealth of experience in film production and a passion for creating exciting educational content. Tyler has worked on numerous award-winning Giant Screen films including Blue Whales, Wings Over Water, Flight of the Butterflies, Amazon Adventure, Backyard Wilderness and Volcanoes.
