Sharkwater Extinction part of 2018 TIFF lineup
By Alexandra Heilbron on August 2, 2018 | 1 Comment
Sharkwater Extinction, Rob Stewart‘s follow-up to his award-winning movie Sharkwater, will premiere at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival.
In January 2017, while shooting Sharkwater Extinction, Rob, a Malibu-based filmmaker, tragically passed away during a dive off the Florida Keys. The world was stunned by the loss of one of the most influential activists of our time. Rob taught the world to love the oceans and to not fear sharks through his iconic images of hugging and free diving with sharks and mantas.
Rob risked everything to educate, preserve and defend the oceans. The film’s producers, along with a talented group of editors, filmmakers, and loyal Sharkwater supporters, were compelled to continue his work.
Following Sharkwater Extinction‘s TIFF premiere in September 2018, the film will open in theaters in October. Promotion for the film has already begun — watch for the Sharkmobile to come to a neighborhood near you!
