Jeffrey Garriock

When a production works underwater, do you have specialists on the directing/producing/organizational side of things that work exclusively on underwater segments, the same way camera folks specialize in underwater work? As an underwater camera operator I would love to know, as I'm curious if it makes more sense to connect with producers and showrunners who have underwater segments in their shows, or if it makes sense to connect with specialists who work on underwater segments of many programs.

Thanks everyone for the great webinar! Question for possibly James on adventure / science pieces. I've been working on athlete and science feature doc in the French Alps and friend actually worked on your show with Alex in Greenland.

Do you feel this genre of combing adventure sports / climate & science making up more of Plimsolls productions in the coming years? And how can freelancers such as myself connect with Plimsoll in the hope of working on shows such as these? thanks
