SAN DIEGO - Michimich -- TORCH ENTERTAINMENT ANNOUNCES THE FROZEN ZOO DOCUMENTARY
San Diego, CA — Torch Entertainment is proud to announce the completion of production on The Frozen Zoo, a groundbreaking documentary created in collaboration with the San Diego Zoo and the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance. This powerful film highlights one of the most visionary and impactful conservation efforts on the planet.
The story of The Frozen Zoo began more than 50 years ago when world-renowned geneticist Dr. Kurt Benirschke first introduced the revolutionary idea of preserving tissue samples from endangered and threatened animals in cryogenic labs. Dr. Benirschke and his early colleagues could not have foreseen the scientific breakthroughs ahead—advancements that today make these preserved samples essential tools in the global fight to prevent species extinction.
The documentary revisits Dr. Benirschke's groundbreaking vision through archival footage and interviews with his colleagues — many of whom continue to lead the Alliance's cutting-edge research. Their work is shaping the future of wildlife conservation and bringing endangered species back from the brink.

Award-Winning Filmmaker Frank Torchia Leads the Project

Torchia produced The Relentless Patriot, the powerful documentary about activist artist Scott LoBaido, released in more than 1,000 theaters nationwide. He also produced The Session Man: The Nicky Hopkins Story, capturing the life and legacy of the legendary Rolling Stones and Beatles keyboardist.
Torchia's passion for meaningful, character-driven storytelling is also evident in his award-winning passion project Ciao Baseball, chronicling the Italian National Baseball Team's historic trip to the United States to play the World Series Champion Chicago Cubs.
