I just returned from Monterey, CA where I worked with Sea Studios Foundation on our live action shoot for Once Upon a Tide - a ten-minute film we are producing about how the ocean nurtures all life on Earth, including our own. The film is largely the creative output of David Elisco at Sea Studios, who took a concept about ocean and human health to a fantastical tale centered around a nine-year old heroine. Drew Takahashi is the Director, and he's been working closely with Gesine Krätzner from LAIKA studio in Portland, OR on the animation. We all gathered in Monterey last week (August 14) to shoot the live action scenes with budding actress Olive and a great crew. We shot at a fabulous house in Monterey that was picture-perfect, and we were gifted with great sun for our afternoon shot on the dunes (see picture above of Olive and Sally). For me, it was especially poignant to see how one small idea has transformed into a project that is bringing together so many great folks - all using their unique talents to create a beautiful, urgent message about ocean conservation. My daughter Hannah was on set and kept busy making sure Olive had ample opportunity to enjoy the dunes.

It was a terrific shoot. If you are interested in seeing more production stills, go to www.seastudios.org. And ask your local aquarium if they are planning on screening the final piece! Best, Mark
