Beneath the Surface: Special Presentations Celebrating the Opening of Ocean Bound
2pm: Making of the Ocean Bound Exhibition
Montshire Executive Director Lara Litchfield-Kimber spearheaded the development of the Ocean Bound exhibition. To collect and curate the custom underwater footage used in Ocean Bound, she turned to renowned cinematographer, David O. Brown. Together they will share behind-the-scenes reflections on the “Making of the Ocean Bound Exhibition”.
3pm: “My Life as an Underwater Cinematographer”
Mr. Brown will also host a presentation on his professional career as an underwater cinematographer that bridges art and environmental science. Visitors will then be introduced to Mr. Brown’s dive gear and specialized camera equipment.
Free with museum admission or membership.
