From “A Bird in the Hand” website:
This film follows Tom and Paul Bartlett
on their quest to band 100,000 birds
throughout northwest Ohio, chronicles
the impact they have not only on bird
research, but those they meet along
the way.

Christy Frank is a photographer and filmmaker
focused on nature and its impact on all of us.
About herself, Christy writes that she aims
“to bear witness and ignite change through
science, visual storytelling and writing…. The
thread that connects us—human to human, bird
to ecosystem, pollinator to planet—often goes unseen.
It may appear frayed or broken, but when we look closer,
we realize it has always been there, quietly binding
all life together. Small, seemingly insignificant actions
can ripple across this web, causing devastating shifts
in distant corners of the world.”

Christy has received numerous awards, including:
Toledo’s Best Filmmaker Award, 2024
Making Waves grant winner, 2024
First Time Filmmaker Award for Ploverville at Fresh Coast
film festival, 2022.
Audubon Photography awards: Top 100, 2022.
