Welcome to Hackmatack National Wildlife Refuge
Videography by Turnstone Strategies, Mitchell Wenkus and Stephen Hurst
Bob is an award-winning Chicago-based producer of nature films, including Monty and Rose, Fluddles, and The Magic Stump.
Filming for the project began in early 2026, and will continue through year-end, with a planned release in spring 2027. It takes a lot of footage and planning, followed by thoughtful editing, but we anticipate that the final product will be a 15 – 20 minute film celebrating Hackmatack’s history, geology, flora and fauna, encouraging all to visit.
