Fish Food

What will the world do without fish as food?

Imagine an ocean with no fish and no seafood. Imagine this empty ocean in your lifetime. This is what Canadian scientists predict – the collapse of all wild fish and seafood by 2048.

Nature filmmaker, underwater cameraman and marine biologist Simon Schneider is going on a journey around the world and under water to find out if this is possibly true. And, if it is, what we can do to stop it.

Simon travels to his early fishing grounds on the West Coast of Canada in River’s Inlet. Once teeming with wild salmon, now only a net full of sockeye salmon return to spawn. In the Gulf of Mexico, he searches for life in underwater “dead zones,” areas with so little oxygen that nothing can survive, except for hordes of slimy jellyfish. In the Sea of Japan, he dives with jellyfish that have reached 1950′s horror movie proportions. Most are bigger than Simon, some are bigger than a car.

Just when the future of seafood looks doomed, Simon’s scientist friends take him to five ocean “hot spots” that maintain ideal conditions for thriving populations of fish. These hot spots may hold the answers to saving the world’s oceans from impending collapse.

The question is, will the global community protect them in time and help secure humanity’s primary single source of high quality protein – fish food?

The Jizz Bizz

A one hour documentary about the global sperm trade.

The Jizz Biz is a documentary about the global sperm trade, revealing its reasons for existing whilst taking a critical look at its societal implications. Who knew that sperm’s ability to swim would be looked upon in the same light as an Olympic sport? And that nationality would count for some kind of motile superiority in the little guys’ ability to reach that elusive egg? A two-way trip starting with a sperm donor (most of them are university students), the film will trace sperm’s steps (or rather wriggles) from the donor to the sperm bank, to storage, to shipping until it reaches a recipient. Similarly we’ll retrace the journey beginning with one or two couples (most are either infertile heterosexual couples or gay couples who are seeking donors), revealing what it takes to buy the makings of a baby. Along the way we’ll reveal the people involved in the business of selling bodily fluids and the serious nature of their sales.
