George Monteiro, Underwater Filmmaker

Hi all, I am an underwater filmmaker with a love for the creatures Hollywood has taught us to hate. Can you guess what those creatures are? Yes, you are right. And although they do kill 5-10 people per year, they are being killed and mutilated by the tens of millions for little more than a bowl of soup. I have written a film entitled "Shark Whisperer" that attempts to set the record straight. It is about a little girl who befirends the most featred predator in the sea and soon discovers who the real predator is. Although we have only raised enough money to produce a few of the opening scenes from the movie as a teaser, those webisodes have garnered us nearly 80 million views on TikTok! Most of our viewers are kids begging to see more. If you'd like to see some of them and help us in our quest to save the sharks visit us on TikTok @sharkwhisperer or check out our website www.sharkwhisperer.net Cheers!

I don't do Ticktock but I can see how it's a controversial concept. Sometimes it needs to be to get the awareness out there. Good luck :)

Fascinating subject!

Thanks, we actually got banned from TikTok for "violating community standards" they thought we actually put our 6-year-old actress in the water with real sharks. It took us a month to convince them otherwise.

Glad to have you here! The winner of our search for new blood a couple of years ago is a cinematographer for shark week, Kevin Bachar!

Cool, there is so much in the underwater world that we have yet to film or explore.
