The Shifting Baselines Ocean Media Project announced the top three winners of its inaugural SB FLIX Contest which included submissions from some 70 would-be Hollywood filmmakers with a passion for ocean conservation.
In a contest that called for creativity, energy, and different perspectives, “What’s With the Water,” a piece on water pollution took first place. “Your Dinner,” a video about water contamination took second, while “Ocean War,” about the Bush Administration’s role in ocean pollution rounded off the list at third.
Shifting Baselines, now four years old, is a partnership between Hollywood and ocean conservation to develop new and innovative ways to communicate the severity of ocean decline.
