“The Last Ranger” had its premiere at the Pan African Film Festival, where it received positive reviews for its story of rhino poaching and conservation efforts in Amakhala Game Reserve, Eastern Cape, South Africa, during the pandemic. Based on actual life events, the story was brought to the producers by David S. Lee after witnessing the results of a poaching attack. Director Cindy Lee & Producer/Writer Darwin Shaw were both kind enough to spend some time speaking with us about their work on the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which is now up for your consideration for this year’s Academy Awards for Best Live Action Short Film. Thank you, and enjoy!
