Howard and Michele Hall
 

NIGHT OF THE SQUID

The sea conceals a wealth of undreamed-of drama and images, and no other filmmakers have returned to the surface with more dramatic footage than Howard and Michele Hall. Their haunting chronicle of the opalescent squids' exhausting night of mating, egg laying and death filmed in the Halls' home waters off California epitomizes the couple's skill with both the camera and the story.

Howard and Michele own and operate Howard Hall Productions - a natural history film production company specializing in marine conservation films for television and large format theater.
 

Between them, the couple has garnered seven Emmy Awards. To date, Howard has worked on more than 100 underwater film projects. He has produced and/or directed many award-winning natural history television films including a National Geographic Special, which he co-produced with Michele, and three episodes of the PBS series Nature. Howard also directed and Michele produced the award-winning, five-hour series Secrets of the Ocean Realm for PBS.

Howard and Michele are perhaps best known for the underwater IMAX films, which include Into the Deep, Island of the Sharks, The Living Sea, and Journey Into Amazing Caves. In 2002 Howard was underwater sequence director and Michele was location manager for MacGillivray Freeman's IMAX feature Coral Reef Adventure, a film in which the couple is featured on-camera.

Howard and Michele are also accomplished still photographers and writers with their work appearing in BBC Wildlife, Natural History Magazine, National Geographic and Ocean Realm among others. Howard has authored several books including Sharks, Dolphins, The Kelp Forest, Successful Underwater Photography, and Secrets of the Ocean Realm. The couple makes their home in San Diego, California.
