AO&A’s team has a long history with animal and conservation themed projects.   “We’ve built a versatile pool of talented experts who understand the importance of storytelling in every aspect of design, ” says Tom Acomb.  “Getting the public to understand and care about animals in the wild starts with engaging them in a seamless, accessible story, one they don’t just watch, they experience.”

Mousetrappe Director David Briggs adds, “This is an opportunity to transport the audience into a whole new world that they can explore in their own way so they can discover their own unique and personal connection with the wild.”
