SEA CHANGE FILM SHORTS 2020 PREVIEW: SPINNAKER

SPINNAKER focuses on the story of the film’s namesake whale, who the CCS tracked from her birth to her death and across three entanglement events. Spinnaker’s life is a rare example where marine biologists were able to see how deeply entanglement can impact the lives of today’s whales. Her story is not an isolated one and represents the challenges that many marine animals now face after years of pollution and degradation threaten to collapse the once-thought to be indestructible ocean systems.

SPINNAKER was produced and directed by Nadine C. Licostie with executive producers Jeanne Leszczynski and Diane DiCarlo in association with Red Thread Productions.
