Winner - "Best Student Film" Santa Barbara Ocean Film Festival

“Harvester” is a cinematic ocean documentary that explores the variety of subtle differences that make a California urchin diver’s life so unique. We aim our audience to plunge into and explore the culture of commercial urchin divers and see how they interact within their unique community, balancing work, family, and transition through an array of newly imposed environmental restrictions. The characters lead us past the traditional fisherman stereotypes, revealing the possible end of an era and creation of a new breed of environmentally conscious divers.
