WHO DID WE TALK TO:

Darby Duffin (Co-Director) and Adam Jones (Co-Director), film subjects Michael Cimarusti and Richard Burgess of FISH & MEN

WHAT’S THE STORY BEHIND THE INTERVIEW:

This was an interview we did during the pandemic (Long hair, a goatee and a mask, oh my!)  The film screened at the 2020 Naples International Film Festival.

WHAT’S THE FILM ABOUT:

“The Deadliest Catch meets Food Inc.” Today, 91% of the seafood in America is imported as the U.S. is flooded with six billion tons of foreign seafood. Most consumers eat blissfully unaware of where their seafood comes from or even think to ask. Yet, the demand-driven seafood economy is having dire consequences. FISH & MEN exposes the high cost of cheap fish by revealing how our choices as consumers drive the global seafood trade threatening local fishing communities and public health.

WHAT DO WE TALK ABOUT:

We talk about the trust developed and needed between subjects and the filmmakers when making a documentary. Also discussed is the focus on making a documentary that is a “call to action” as well as a conduit to simply tell a story and get information out there. We also touch on the value difference between being in a news segment versus having your story told in a documentary that will continue to be available long after you’ve done that interview or appeared in the film.

WHERE CAN YOU SEE THE FILM:

FISH & MEN is available on Tubi.
