Who We Are

STAN MINASIAN founded EarthViews Productions nearly two decades ago as the film production unit of Animal Fund, a thirty-year old non-profit organization. His films on animal and nature issues have been broadcast on Discovery Channel, Turner Broadcasting Systems, Public Broadcasting Systems, Outdoor Llife Network, Westinghouse Broadcasting Systems, and internationally. He produced, wrote and edited many of the shows on OdyseeTV.

PETER COYOTE is an actor of international acclaim, yet his reputation as an actor may be eclipsed by his dedication to progressive causes, especially the preservation of wildlife and nature. He has lent his face and voice, and thus his prestige, to dozens of film productions and television specials that focus on saving our natural world from irresponsible human practices.

ALAN HEWITT was deemed “one of music’s best kept secrets” by People Magazine. Alan is a multi-platinum pianist, vibist and recording artist, and a writer, producer and musician. A lifelong environmentalist and animal-lover, Alan has contributed his entire musical collection to OdyseeTV, and a majority of the shows on this network showcase his enormous talent.

RICHARD GEBHARDT is an Emmy Award-winning voice-over artist with a passion for preserving our natural world. His voice has been heard on programs ranging from Discovery Channel to ABC. Richard is an ex-reporter who has written for the New York Times and Smithsonian Magazine, and has also directed film projects for the National Park Service. As a narrator, he especially loves to bring an emotional element to productions on animal welfare, or as he puts it, “To give a voice to those without a voice”. His voice can be heard on many of the programs on OdyseeTV.

ED ELLSWORTH is a web designer with a social conscience. He has been working on animal conservation and cultural conservation issues for over twenty years. He has been able to help serve many organizations with their work to educate and inspire the public to save wildlife and their habitats.
