The story of Santa Barbara fimmaker and environmental activist Mike
DEGRUY: acclaimed underwater cinematographer, frequent collaborator of
James Cameron, and sometimes Shark Week host, who died suddenly in
2012. DEGRUY FILMED THE OCEANS FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES, becoming
as famous for his on-camera storytelling as for his glorious, intimate
visions of the sea and the creatures who live in it. When Mike's wife
and filmmaking partner Mimi DEGRUY WAS FINALLY ABLE TO WATCH FOOTAGE
AGAIN AFTER HIS DEATH, she found a piece she'd never seen before and
knew she had to make this film. Shot not long after the Deepwater
Horizon oil spill, it depicted a different Mike who had gone from an
artist sharing the wonder of the deep to an enraged and impassioned
warrior. While this new documentary celebrates Mike and all he
accomplished, it also highlights what he cared most about at the time
of his death: we are destroying the ocean before we even know what's
there. Along with breathtaking underwater footage and Mike's
consummate storytelling, it features interviews with those Mike worked
with like Sir David Attenborough, James Cameron, Dr. Sylvia Earle,
Alastair Fothergill, Paul and Grace Atkins and more. "If you don’t
know who he is, you owe it to yourself to find out... Thanks to his
keen eye, deep experience, and fearlessness, he’s been able to
capture some truly legendary shots in extreme conditions, such as lava
going into the ocean off Hawaii, under-ice photography, giant squids,
and orcas making runs at the beach to gobble up seals. Some of these
moments had never been captured before, and are so profound they’ve
been used not just for entertainment, but for basic research." -Film
Threat "A beautifully filmed documentary with some amazing underwater
footage (much of it shot by DEGRUY HIMSELF), it also succeeds as a
touching personal reminiscence and as an understated but effective
environmental manifesto." -Hollywood Reporter QUESTIONS about this
