There is A Frog

It is National Frog Week and what better way to promote frogs than with the Broome Bird Observatory’s award winning short film There is A Frog. This wonderful short film won “People’s Choice” and “Best Music Short” at the 2018 Mud and Saltwater Short Film Fest. Well done to the frogs who acted so well, Jaime Jackett who wrote and performed the score, talented filmmaker Emilia Lai and actor Anne Woolard who performed the toilet and shower scenes so magnificently!!
