Birds of Los Banos
I created this short video to promote the video Birds of Los Baños that premiered in the Santa Barbara International Film Festival on January 19th, 2020.
An endearing look at some of Santa Barbara’s most extraordinary birds and their nesting site near the City’s Los Baños del Mar swimming pool.
