Created as a student film project, Troubled Waters explores what has happened to our oceans because of our appetite for seafood, and looks what we can do personally to kick start a reformed fishing industry. This film was created by two students - Matthew Judge, who wrote, shot and produced the film, and Robert Drane who wrote and performed the original music used in this film.

Exploration - It begins at home.

Since my childhood I have been drawn to study of the natural world, enjoying the opportunities to study it academically and through travel and exploration. I've also been fascinated by film - by its ability to connect people around the world, share information, inspire, challenge and encourage. For the past 5 years I have been striving creatively and academically towards toward a goal that combines these two loves; pursuing study in the environmental sciences (two degrees) and making my own TV shows and films - leading hopefully to a career in factual film-making. These years have been incredibly valuable, giving me a real energy to keep making more and more ambitious films but I am desperately looking for a chance to engage, hone and expand my skill set within a more professional context. I've learned every technical film skill myself, using resources around me to help inspire me to find my own style but now I feel I have reached a plateau in what I can do alone. This scholarship provides an amazing opportunity to push myself creatively, by opening up a new challenge and crucially providing direction and support from a professional. Having worked for conservation NGOs across the world too, the chance to tell the story of the local communities within such a biologically important area appears to my academic and creative sensibilities. With Brian's mentorship my storytelling flair and technical prowess with only increase. It's what I need to keep moving forward.
