Featured Customers | Johannes Olszewski Coral Castle [VIDEO]

I work as a director and producer and had the privilege to work on an exciting project in beautiful Samoa at the end of last year. On my way back to Australia I decided to stay a week on the southern side of the main island of Fiji. It was my very first underwater film project and while listening to the sounds of the sea every night, the idea was born to do a little narrative piece about the power of water. I found a profound and luminous poem: "Breathing Underwater" by Carol Bieleck that was the perfect fit for the narration of my film "Coral Castle."
