“Ecoflix is ​​extremely excited to partner with ITTV. We believe that by joining forces, we will be able to continue our efforts to help save animals and the planet,” says Ecoflix founder and president David Casselman. “We are thrilled to announce that we have selected Elisabetta Canalis to receive the Celebrity Animal Advocate of the Year at the ITTV Forum & Festival in Los Angeles.”

“The environment and the protection of animal life are fundamental priorities today, and the commitment to their defense is a responsibility we all share,” adds Valentina Martelli, CEO of Good Girls Planet, who, along with industry veteran Cristina Scognamillo, created ITTV. “That's why we wanted to honor those who have the platform and ability to reach millions of people. Elisabetta Canalis has unequivocally demonstrated her relentless commitment to the cause, particularly her activism around dog rescue, and the push for increased safety regulations on the responsible use of animals in television and film productions.”

On November 7th at the NeueHouse in Hollywood, Ecoflix founder David Casselman, actress Elisabetta Canalis, entrepreneur and producer Matteo Perale, and founder and CEO of ITTV Valentina Martelli, will participate in a panel discussion addressing the role of public figures and cause-related social impact. The award will be presented during ITTV’s closing night gala on November 9th.
