A Lateral Line


Bill Fisher and Joe Romeiro say “It’s hard to deny the attraction of sharks, and even harder to try and change the negative attitudes so many people have about them.”  Their feature, “A Lateral Line” features footage of the beautiful Blue Shark, a sleek, nomadic species that makes one of the longest known migration journeys – up to 1800 miles! They are often found in aggregations and are voracious feeders.  The blue shark is one of the shark species found as bycatch in pelagic longline fisheries, which has made it easy to exploit them for the international shark fin trade. This footage was shot at numerous locations, predominantly in New England, California, Mexico, and South America.

 

Sharks have fascinated both Joe Romeiro and Bill Fisher since childhood. They learned to dive as a tool to get closer to them and experience their power and mystery first hand. After meeting on a dive expedition in Fiji, Joe and Bill teamed up to produce films that help aid in the conservation of sharks and the marine environment.  They portray sharks the way they see them, not as mindless killing machines, but as an important and critical element of our oceans eco-system. More importantly, they want to use their experiences to help show others that many sharks are threatened, and some even face extinction. In 2009, their short film “Death Of A Deity” won the EMERGING UNDERWATER FILM MAKER award at the inaugural BLUE Ocean Film Festival in Savannah, Georgia.
