WorkCabin Films is inviting local audiences to a special double-feature screening at Birds Canada headquarters in Port Rowan on Saturday, November 15. Doors open at 6:00 p.m., with films rolling shortly after and a live question-and-answer session to follow.
The evening features two environmental documentaries—Saving the Night Caller and The Birdhouse—fresh off nominations and packed houses at the Fresh Coast Film Festival in Marquette, Michigan.
That was Co-producer Cynthia Brink, noting how meaningful it was to see their local stories connect with an international crowd.
The Port Rowan event will put the spotlight back on home. Student researchers from the University of Waterloo, who appear in the films, will join the Q&A to talk about migration science, fieldwork, and how community members can support conservation. The films also highlight collaborations with Birds Canada, including MODIS wildlife tracking and local habitat restoration.
Brink says WorkCabin’s goal is simple.
Viewers will hear how native plants, wildlife corridors, and local stewardship help species rebound—evidence that recovery is possible locally.
Tickets are available now through Birds Canada’s website, and event details are also posted on WorkCabin Films’ Instagram and Facebook pages. Seating is limited; organizers recommend arriving when doors open at 6:00 p.m. to explore displays before the screening.
WorkCabin is also finishing a sequel to its earlier Priority Place documentary, slated for a spring premiere. For now, Nov. 15 offers a rare chance to see both films on the big screen, meet the researchers, and ask questions in person—right here in Port Rowan.
