Most Floridians, both consumers and chefs, are unaware of the breadth of the aquaculture industry in the state. Sereia Films has created videos featuring a clam farm, a land-based pompano farm, a land-based shrimp farm, a sturgeon farm, and an oyster farm. Our work introduces Floridians, and the greater public, to the diverse types of aquaculture taking place in Florida and the methods used on those farms. We give viewers an overview of these industries, while highlighting specific farmers and their stories.
Many chefs are interested in where the food they’re serving comes from and love to visit farms in person. As this isn’t always possible, these films are a way to still create that connection. During this session, we’ll share clips of the films, an overview of our process, and the impacts these films have had in South Florida.
