“Shark Whisperer” Design by George Monteiro:
The “Shark Whisperer” design uses the image of a majestic tiger shark. It is the same tiger shark that is in the movie „Shark Whisperer“, photographed most probably at Tiger Beach in the Bahamas where the Tiger Sharks like to congregate. Sharks are being slaughtered by the tens of millions around the world for their fins which are used in shark-fin soup. The design draws attention to this bloody and unsustainable practice. We hope that film and design will inspire people to stop it once and for all.
George is an underwater filmmaker with over thirty years experience diving with and filming the beautiful and fascinating creatures of the sea. Most of his films have been documentaries, commercials or corporate films but he recently completed a feature film entitled, “Shark Whisperer”, which he wrote and and filmed on location in the Bahamas. It is a fictional adventure about a little girl who makes friends with an injured tiger shark and soon learns that everything she has been taught to fear about sharks is untrue and the most dangerous predator in the sea is man. It is an exciting and adventurous story with a strong conservation message meant to appeal to young people and inspire them to undo the harm their parents are doing to the ocean ecology and especially to sharks. Hollywood films, from “Jaws” to “Sharknado”, have done measurable damage by causing irrational fears and hatred towards sharks. “Shark Whisperer” is the first feature film ever to show sharks in an honest and positive light. George Monteiro’s collection supports production of his films and “Shark Whisperer Association” to raise awareness about sharks.
