I'm interested in where science, culture and the environment intersect, and that's what I do in my work. I was the Associate Producer of Two Square Miles and A Sea Change, two amazing films along these lines, and I live with my family in a funky row home in South Philly, yo.
My amazing, hard-working, vastly under-paid (i.e., barely not-really-paid) principal crew:
Jen Schneider - Director of Cinematography
Ian Markiewicz - Sound/Lighting/Camera
Alex Tyson - Editor
Caroline Savage - Outreach Coordinator
Awesome, thanks Greg. We'll emerge from the editing room sometime in 2012 with something great to show for everyone's support.
Great work Ben,
There are Surfrider volunteers around the country that are stoked to see you make this film!
Congrats, Ben! Love the trailer, eager to see the film. Onwards!
hooray!
YEY! Congrats and bloody well done!
You made it!! Bravo!!
Ben, we look forward to the completion of Shored Up. The Friends of Midway Beach are a group that is dedicated to coastal conservation. Our lives on the barrier Island may become limited due to our current local construction codes. The wash over processes that naturally allow the barrier Islands to roll back with a gradual sea level rise are virtually non existent. I have watched sea level rise around my home town of South Seaside Park and can only foresee the future flooding getting worse.
Good luck, Ben. We are happy to help you reach your goal. Can't wait to see the film.
-Dan, Johanna, Noah and Celia
