I make people care about ocean stories.
You can have an incredible subject, an important message and beautiful imagery. But none of that matters if your audience doesn't connect with it.
Don't spend your production budget making a beautiful film nobody cares about.

Do you have a story worth telling... but don't know how to make people care about it?
Before you decide how to film it, work out why anyone should care.
THE SUBJECT
ISN'T THE STORY.
THE IDEA
Find the story first.
Then make it beautiful.
A reef isn't a story. A conservation project isn't a story. Even an extraordinary person isn't automatically a story.
The story is what gives us a reason to care. Who are we following? What do they want? What's at stake? What makes us want to keep watching?
That's what I'm looking for before I worry about making it beautiful.
STORY FIRSTAbove + below the surface.
ONE CREATIVE VISION
One filmmaker.
Above and below the surface.
I can help develop the story, work with the people at the heart of it, film above and below the surface, shoot aerials and take the project through the edit.
For you, that means fewer people to coordinate and one person who understands the story from the first conversation to the final film.
