Our goal is to bring the rich stories of the proposed Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary to life through compelling storytelling. Our media content is carefully crafted to capture the imagination, engaging viewers while providing informative insights into the project.
We create high-quality video clips and a collection of still photography libraries for national and local news organizations to use. Additionally, institutions like Stanford University can access our footage and imagery to support research and educational endeavors.
