Connected is a feature film I am producing and directing about the diversity of marine life off the coast of Southern California and the threats human activity poses to this protected ecosystem. The film is an environmental piece with a twist of fantasy to encourage younger viewers to find beauty and magic in our environment. While I am the Producer and Co-Director, this feature is a volunteer project with the help of local non-profits and a team of filmmakers who believe in the message of the film. We are passionate about sharing the underwater landscape with a cleverly written narrative to carry viewers through powerful visuals. We will also be donating any proceeds to the very nonprofits which aided in our research. Producing this project enabled me to quickly learn many aspects of filmmaking including (but not limited to) the following:- Negotiated partnerships and sponsorships with ocean-conscious businesses - Managed a rotating crew/cast on location throughout California- Developed relationships and trained with PADI-certified diving professionals to film In-Ocean scenes - Conducted location research by interviewing with intertidal marine biologists, the Pacific Marine Mammal Center, and Ocean Institute -Director-Producer-Cinematographer-Editor-Graphic Designer-Content Creator-Social/Digital Media-Salesman-Copy Writer-Activist
