High Hopes on the Hill
Creating change through visual stories can often be a faith-based endeavor, no matter how targeted your audience. But that’s not the case with our most-recent film, High Hopes. Last month we were thrilled to learn that our film on ocean acidification and Dungeness crab for the Ocean Conservancy was to be screened for decision-makers in the Rayburn House Office Building in Washington, DC.
On May 19, 2016, the Conservancy hosted a briefing on Capitol Hill to highlight the recently documented impacts of ocean acidification on Dungeness crab and what this might mean for the future of this vital West Coast fishery. After our film premiered, two individuals from the film – fisherman John Mellor and NOAA scientist Paul McElhany – participated in a panel discussion hosted by Congressmen Derek Kilmer and Don Young.
