International Ocean Film Festival — Official Selection Award 2026

Official Selection

Coming Soon

The Edges of Earth short-form 20-minute film has been selected as an official film at the International Ocean Film Festival. We'll release it publicly once it completes the festival circuit in 2026.

The film offers a glimpse of where the team has been and where they are going on the edges of earth. It discusses the power of exploring the world, but also in our own backyards. The team has been on a quest for the last three years to find positive outliers, or those succeeding against the odds in the face of the climate crisis.

The Expedition

Edges of Earth is a global expedition and consulting team exploring how people are responding to a changing planet. Led by strategist and diver Andi Cross and photographer Adam Moore, the team travels to the literal and metaphorical edges of the world, embedding with communities already confronting climate challenges firsthand.

Across 50+ countries, the expedition has documented hundreds of stories from scientists, Indigenous leaders, conservationists, and local innovators who are building real solutions in the places most vulnerable to environmental change. These field insights are translated into media, strategy, and partnerships designed to amplify what's working.

Rather than focusing solely on what's broken, Edges of Earth seeks out what the team calls 'positive deviants' — the outliers proving that a more resilient future is possible.

The people closest to the edge understand it best -- and they're already solving the challenges the rest of the world is only beginning to face.
