Podcast: Ocean, Impact and Inspiration. A filmmakers journey.

“Dana Frankoff is a storyteller with purpose, and she is quite good at it. While not working her day job at Pixar, she is making films to raise awareness on environmental issues around the globe. Her recent film, Voice Above Water, features the story of a 90 year old fisherman in Bali whose livelihood is deeply impacted by the plastic and trash that has seemingly replaced the fish. The film has won countless awards and is a visual masterpiece. In this episode we explore Dana’s journey as a filmmaker and how each of us can make a positive impact on the world around us. Our conversation left me inspired and I hope it does the same for you.”
