Reaching Blue, an Ian Hinkle film A writer, an oyster farmer and an ocean scientist on the Pacific coast expose new changes found in the Salish Sea, providing a glimpse of a coastal way of life under threat, and linking each of us to the world's oceans.

With twenty-two cinematographers contributing imagery from deep-sea submarines, ocean research vessels and drone cameras around our local waters, we catch a glimpse of a place as it has never been seen before. From John Steinbeck's old research vessel 'The Western Flyer' to residents of coastal communities facing dramatic changes in their own back yards, 'Reaching Blue' shows that we are all connected to the ocean at our doorstep.

Ian Hinkle is a documentary filmmaker who grew up on the edge of the Salish Sea, along Canada’s Pacific coast. Hinkle is passionate about sharing strong stories about issues that matter and believes that the ever-changing media landscape presents new opportunities for independent voices to reach broad audiences. His documentary credits include “Long Road North” (producer/director), the award-winning feature “Big Joy: the adventures of James Broughton” (cinematographer), “Reflections: art for an oil free coast” (co-producer, writer), and the soon to be released “Midway” (creative consultant, midwayfilm.com).

He lives in Victoria, Canada with his family.
