A new upcoming 6-episode docuseries shares the stories of a diverse group of mariners working on the water off northern Vancouver Island.

Where the Wind Meets the Tide was produced in the spring and summer and will premiere on TELUS Optik TV this Fall.

The project was made possible thanks to support from the TELUS STORYHIVE Voices program, along with additional support from the Art and Earth Festival from the Campbell River Arts Council, the Campbell River Salmon Foundation, and the Museum at Campbell River.

A feature length version of the series will also be showing on October 4th at Campbell River’s Tidemark Theatre as part of the Campbell River Festival of Film.

Director and Producer Suzanne Jolly says she wanted to capture the stories of those who have witnessed and worked through an evolution of working on the water, adding it's an inspiring group of people who show incredible resilience and have a sense of marine life that is unparalleled.

The series reflects the diversity of those working on the water, including female and Indigenous perspectives.

Woven into the series is a variety of local art inspired by the ocean and ocean life.

At least ten local artists are featured in the film - many of whom will be in attendance at the premier, as well as some showcasing their works at the Tidemark.

The premier is being hosted by the Campbell River Festival of Film.
