Filmmakers in attendance!
The first feature-length documentary by award-winning filmmaker Blake McWilliam, Send Kelp! follows Frances Ward, a self-professed "Seaweed Nerd," as she starts a kelp farm off the west coast of Canada. But to coax a crop from the wild Pacific, she'll need help from scientists, wild harvesters, and entrepreneurs who know this miraculous organism's challenges and astonishing potential. Along the way, she'll find the glimmer of hope that seaweed might provide not only for our planet but for her, too.
Combining breathtaking underwater cinematography with a fun, quirky cast of characters, Send Kelp! explores many remarkable surprises about this game-changing organism and how it, along with the efforts of entrepreneurs like Frances, just might help change the world.
