2010 OCEAN MEDIA CONFERENCE
Santa Barbara, California
More information coming soon.
Award winning producer & Discovery Channel's SHARK WEEK host,
Mike deGruy,
on the Santa Barbara Ocean Film Festival
"Yet
another gem from the Ocean Channel...what began as a wonderful, local festival celebrating the talented ocean filmmakers surrounding Santa Barbara
has grown into a truly international event, showcasing and premiering
ocean-related and conservation films that (thankfully) give new
meaning to the term 'shock and awe'.
It is a great event. You want to go."
