Fellowship of the Sea

A group of folks living on a small island whose love of the cold ocean water swimming has created a deep and connected bond.

Filmed over a year from World Ocean 2021 to 2022, through the ecological effects of climate change, we follow the story of the Seals and their special relationships, past, present and future, with the ocean on their 20th anniversary of ocean swimming.

Director Statement

I'm very excited to present my first Documentary Short Film featuring a group of "Seals" - older folks who swim in the Salish Sea / Pacific Ocean all year round. I believe we have a duty and responsibility to preserve and protect our oceans. First we must build relationships with its seasons and the marvellous creatures that inhabit its waters.
