The debut slate will include the documentary shorts “Lost and Found,” from Academy Award-winning director Orlando von Einsiedel, and “The Nightcrawlers” from Academy Award-winning producer Joanna Natasegara and first-time director Alexander A. Mora.

It feels like the logical next step to expand our presence in the documentary film landscape with documentary shorts” said Carolyn Bernstein, Evp, global scripted content and documentary films, National Geographic in an official statement.
She added, “National Geographic has always been committed to telling globally relevant and engaging stories that deepen audiences’ understanding of the world and their role in it.
