“I’ve been involved with a number of film projects before, but this one stands out in many ways…to the fastidious attention to detail, to a sincere desire to ensure scientific accuracy and generally just ‘get it right.’”

“I’ve had the opportunity to work with a lot of documentary production companies over the years, many of which claim to educate the public about the marine environment. Sadly, I have found many of these production companies and their sponsors are more concerned with feeding public hype and fear than presenting scientifically-accurate, educational films. As a result, I often find it quite difficult to find a documentary film worth showing to marine biology students. However, working with MacGillivray Freeman Films as a scientific consultant …has renewed my faith in documentary films!

It was refreshing to work with a group of people so committed to producing a scientifically-accurate and entertaining educational film... I only hope that audiences appreciate the effort and dedication that MacGillivray Freeman Films has devoted towards complimenting the visually mesmerizing images with accurate and informative narrative and story lines.”
