Picture the Leviathan

Hal Cliiford and Jason Houston have fired up a Kickstarter campaign to fund finishing the production of their film following James Prosek's quest to see the Atlantic's most important fish, and paint them from life. The campaign is on until 12/31 and has already achieved it's $4,000 funding goal.

A description of the campaign.

Too many environmental documentaries follow a predictable pattern: they chronicle a problem, they make us feel guilty, they tell us to “care” or “get involved.” They are (what can we say?) depressing and disempowering. 

Picture the Leviathan takes a different, Trojan horse approach. This is a film about an environmental issue, but it won’t directly discuss that issue. Leviathan tells the story of an artist and his process. We don't tell the audience what to think or what to do. We let the art, and the charisma of the artist, lead the audience to their own conclusions.

The artist is James Prosek.
