Voices from the Gulf official selection of the 2010 Lights. Camera. Help. Film Festival

"Voices from the Gulf: Shell Beach Fishermen" is an official selection of the 2010 "Lights. Camera. Help." Film Festival.  Out of a pool of 235 documentaries, PSAs and short films, 33 were selected to screen in the nation's only festival dedicated to cause-driven films.  The festival runs from July 29 - 31 in Austin, TX.  As an official selection of the festival, the film is now eligible for one of three jury prizes to be awarded at the conclusion of the event.

Filmmakers Gary and Kristin Schillinger moved to New Orleans from the San Francisco Bay Area just weeks before the catastrophic oil spill threatened the wildlife, marshlands, beaches and communities of the Gulf Coast.  They teamed up with Global Green to produce a series of online shorts that would help shed light on the human toll of the country’s worst environmental crisis.
