A new documentary is diving into production in NSW 🎬

Seahorse School, produced by Media Stockade and Grumpy Turtle Films, follows underwater cinematographer Woody Spark as he forms an unexpected bond with marine biologists working to save the critically endangered White's Seahorse. Unable to have biological children of his own, Woody becomes captivated by the seahorses, the only species in the world where the male gives birth.

Supported by Screen NSW, the feature documentary is filming in Sydney Harbour and Port Stephens, shining a light on this unique NSW species and the efforts to protect it for future generations.

We can't wait to see this extraordinary story of conservation as it comes to life on screen.
