Filmmakers Barbara Ettinger and Sven Huseby, creators of the powerful documentary film "A Sea Change" which focuses on the issue of ocean acidification, appeared on C-SPAN's Washington Journal, the live national public affairs show, this morning for a half hour segment. Watch the video below and join the "A Sea Change" group on Facebook.
Today's World Premiere of "A Sea Change: Imagine A World Without Fish" - the powerful new documentary film on ocean acidification - was a spectacular event. More than 650 people packed into the Baird Auditorium at the Natural History Museum and many additional people had to be turned away because all the seats and standing room was filled. The theater manager told us it was the largest audience she had ever seen in the auditorium. At the conclusion "A Sea Change" received a huge 5 minute standing ovation!
Check out this awesome coverage of "A Sea Change" from NBC4, the top-rated local TV station in the Washington, DC market. The segment is reported by veteran environmental reporter (and NBC4 news anchor) Wendy Rieger.
The 2050 Group, LLC has been hired to publicize "A Sea Change" the powerful new documentary feature film that explores ocean acidification and the impact of CO2 emissions on the fish in the oceans.

I started this blog in the summer of 2005 initially to publish daily comments and organize reports and news in the field of multicultural communications and best practices in emerging markets. Thousands of visitors later the site is well-indexed and continues to reach larger audiences each day. And the focus has grown to additional topics. On June 1st, 2006 I opened The 2050 Group (www.the2050group.com), a new agency devoted to providing clients with Internet strategies, media relations/marketing/advertising, and strategies for reaching emerging markets. The agency's client list has grown quickly since then. I continue to lead two great projects at Johns Hopkins University in Washington, DC where I serve as a Faculty Lecturer.
