Its executive producers are Mark Shelley and Nancy Burnett for Sea Studios Foundation, Richard Hutton for Vulcan Productions and Michael Rosenfeld for National Geographic Television & Film.

Major funding for National Geographic's Strange Days on Planet Earth is provided by the National Science Foundation, The David and Lucile Packard Foundation, Ford Motor Company and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting. Sea Studios Foundation was created to increase the public's understanding and participation in science and environmental issues.

Since the foundation's inception, it has produced two international projects with National Geographic Television, "The Shape of Life" and "Strange Days on Planet Earth." Founded in 1997 by investor and philanthropist Paul G. Allen, Seattle-based Vulcan Productions devotes itself exclusively to producing independent films of unique vision and artistic quality. With projects such as Hard Candy, Far From Heaven, The Safety of Objects, The Blues, Evolution and Me & Isaac Newton, the company commits its talent and resources to creating films of substance and enduring significanceengaging audiences both intellectually and emotionally with storytelling that illuminates the human condition.
