Each Summer, MAS MBC students partner with Day’s Edge Production and PIER PhD students to create professional-quality films about the powerful research underway at Scripps Institution of Oceanography. Five groups have only three days to storyboard, script, film and edit a documentary film before they showcase their work at the annual Film Fest where Scripps faculty, staff, and students vote for the winner!

This film features Dr. Peter Franks and his research into ocean turbulence, planktonic interactions and his “jello ocean hypothesis”.
