While building his career around educational media, Mr. Porter spent the last decade quietly working on a very different kind of project: a feature-length nature documentary filmed in his own backyard in Norwalk, Connecticut. Suburban Safari is the culmination of over ten years of careful observation, patient filming, and a deep appreciation for the wild spaces that survive on the edges of suburban life. What began as a side project grew into a passionate exploration of the ecosystems, family bonds, and surprising dramas unfolding just beyond his doorstep — including the lives of a deer family, a barred owl family, and countless other backyard residents.
