How it works
Three steps, then your day back
We watch
Each day our curators screen new and archive nature shorts from filmmakers around the world — far more than ever makes the list.
We rank
We argue it out and publish one ordered selection of thirty films, with a single #1 for the day. The ranking refreshes at local midnight.
You watch
You get six free preview picks on the page; members unlock the full thirty and the whole archive. Watch one beautiful place, properly.
Why mediabox
The wild doesn't need to be endless to be enough. One film a day, watched properly, beats a thousand you'll never finish.
One a day, not a feed
We publish a single ranked selection of thirty nature films each morning and stop there. No autoplay, no rabbit hole — just today's wild place, then your day back.
Human-curated, every morning
Eleanor and a small team in Tallinn watch widely and argue a little before settling on the ranking. A person chose what you watch, not a recommendation engine.
Slow, immersive, theme-first
We favour patient, ambient filmmaking — long takes, real sound, the dawn chorus over the jump cut. Wildlife and wild places, nothing else.
Simple to cancel
Web membership, clear renewal terms, a real refund path, and cancellation in a couple of clicks. No long contracts and no dark patterns.
Curated in Tallinn by Eleanor Whitcombe and a small editorial team — real people choosing real films, every morning.

A note from the curator
“I started mediabox because I was tired of drowning in autoplay. You open a feed to watch one heron and an hour later you've watched forty things and remembered none of them. Nature deserves attention, not scrolling. So every morning my small team and I watch widely, argue a little, and choose a single ranking of thirty films — the dawn chorus you'd never find, the patient otter, the storm over a fjord. We don't chase what's trending; we chase what's quietly extraordinary. You get one beautiful place a day, watched properly. Spend less time choosing what to watch, and more time actually looking at the wild.”

Questions
Before you start the trial
Start a 7-day free trial to unlock all thirty of today's picks and the full archive. You won't be charged during the trial, and you can cancel any time before it ends to avoid a charge.
Cancel before the trial ends and you pay nothing. If you're charged for your first paid period, we offer a 7-day money-back guarantee on that first charge — just email [email protected].
mediabox is a web service that works in modern browsers on desktop, tablet and mobile. We don't currently offer native mobile, smart-TV or offline-download apps, and we won't claim to until we do.
Yes. After the free trial your membership renews automatically at the plan price you chose (monthly or annual) until you cancel. Renewal terms are shown before you subscribe and in your account.
A small human team in Tallinn watches widely and ranks thirty nature films each day. It's editorial curation, not an automated algorithm or a popularity chart.
Every day at 00:00 in your own device's local timezone. The on-page countdown shows exactly how long until the next refresh.
Not at the moment. mediabox is streaming-only over the web. We'd rather not advertise offline downloads until the feature genuinely exists.
mediabox is operated by Loodusvaade Media OÜ, registered at Salme tn 45-8, 10413 Tallinn, Estonia. Our contact directory is on the Contact page.
Membership is intended for personal use by one member. Please don't share your login publicly; household use is fine within reason.
Payments are handled over an encrypted connection and we never store full card details on our servers. Until our checkout provider is fully connected, the subscribe buttons show a clear setup notice instead of taking payment.
Yes — we love seeing work from independent wildlife filmmakers. Email [email protected] with a link and a short note, and our curators will take a look.
No. The ranking is rebuilt every day, so today's #1 is replaced tomorrow. That's the whole idea — a fresh wild place each morning rather than a static chart.
