What is CITY WILD? It’s the title of Whackala‘s new documentary film, now in post production.

We ran a crowd funding campaign to raise money to pay for the post production of City Wild and it was very successful, want to see the pitch video that made it all happen? here it is have a look.

I know what your thinking.”AWwww… why didn’t I see this sooner, I would have loved one of those perks“. Well dry those tears, you can still buy a perk, have a look just to your right, above our twitter feed and you will see a nice little PayPall button, pick a perk, you know you want to.

The film’s background:

The Phoenix Park in Dublin, Ireland, is 707 hectares in size. One of the largest enclosed recreational spaces within any European capital city; it is larger than all of London’s city parks put together and more than twice the area of New York’s Central Park. It’s a National Historic Park, a wildlife reserve and a busy urban public space hosting hundreds of major public and sporting events annually, as well as being home to the Dublin zoo. Its inhabitants range from the President of Ireland and the US ambassador, to a wide variety of birds and a herd of Fallow deer!

It is a whole world in itself.

Some of the staff that tend to the park daily (rangers, gardeners and deer keeper) also live inside it; some have even grown up in it and retired in it, having the park as their garden for life. City Wild is about these people, about experiencing the park through their eyes; how, everyday, they hold a delicate balance preserving the immense biodiversity of the area while keeping it as a public recreational place.

Want to contribute to the project with your pictures and stories, please do we’d love to see them.
