Each video below is a short documentary I filmed during my time as a documentary videographer, from the small towns of North Carolina, to the tiny islands off the coast of Belize.
Seeding the Sea
Where fishermen were once able to catch over 100 pounds of fish in one day off the coast of Belize, now they can barely catch a fraction of that. Seaweed farming offers a more sustainable alternative for both the economy and environment. Lowell Godfrey has grown up in Placencia, and now has his own seaweed farm that he hopes will show other fishermen that they can make their livelihood in a sustainable way.

Father Nature
Bruce Beerbower has spent the past 37 years as lead naturalist of the Catawba Science Center, but his love of nature goes back much further. No matter where he goes, he speaks for the trees, plants and animals.
