This teaser trailer is for the Andreas Roth-directed Sea Legend, a film scheduled to debut next month at the San Sebastian International Film Festival.
In the short, a Basque fisherman tells the epic story of a mysterious and unique creature from the sea. The film has been created for the NGO Oceana and is designed to create awareness about an endangered sea creature that will be revealed at the film premiere at San Sebastian.
The trailer is being presented by the Los Angeles-based Roth, who recently joined RSA Films for exclusive representation in the U.S. and U.K. (SHOOTonline, 7/24), and Panthalassa, an ocean-inspired creative platform based in Berlin, Hamburg and San Sebastian. By involving creatives, thinkers, writers, activists and artists, it engages the audience in a discourse on the links between the ocean and culture at large.
