*ONE WORLD ONE OCEAN PREVIEWS 2012 ORIGINAL DIGITAL PROGRAMMING*
*Online Video Content Is Part of Largest Ocean Conservation Media Campaign
Ever Launched*
** **
*LAGUNA BEACH, Calif.* *February 2, 2012* – Today, *One World One
Ocean*(OWOO), the largest, most far-reaching, for-purpose media
campaign aimed at
restoring the world’s oceans, revealed a video sneak peek and first five
episodes of its 2012 original digital programming (*watch
here*<http://www.oneworldoneocean.org/video/entry/one-world-one-ocean-2012-digital-media-sneak-peek>).
****
** **
The OWOO campaign was launched last year by Academy Award®-nominated
filmmaker *Greg MacGillivray* of *MacGillivray Freeman Films* (MFF)—the
world's best-selling independent producer of IMAX® Theatre films and
mastermind behind blockbuster documentaries such as *Everest *and *The
Living Sea*—as an initiative of the new *One World One Ocean Foundation**. *
****
** **
OWOO’s original online programming is a critical part of the campaign’s
massive effort to showcase and celebrate the importance of the world’s
oceans, with the goal of catalyzing a movement to protect it. Other OWOO
programming includes *three ocean-focused 3D IMAX Theatre films, an 8-part
television series *and a* 3D theatrical documentary*—photographed with the
most cutting-edge 3D, digital and IMAX technologies available—to be
released over the next five years in collaboration with MacGillivray
Freeman Films in theatres, museums and aquariums around the world. ****
** **
“I can’t think of a better, more purposeful way for MacGillivray Freeman
Films to extend its more than 30 years of successful IMAX filmmaking into
the digital space than through One World One Ocean,” said *Greg MacGillivray
*, President of MacGillivray Freeman Films and Chairman of the One World
One Ocean Foundation. “When people see this incredible ocean video content,
in the highest-quality format out there, our hope is that they will be
moved on an emotional level and feel compelled to join the growing movement
to help save the oceans.”****
** **
OWOO’s online ocean series are being produced by MacGillivray Freeman
Films’ newly formed digital media production unit, a first for the company,
which has focused traditionally on the production of films for IMAX
Theatres. In the tradition of MFF, the online content is being produced
with the same high-quality, cutting-edge filmmaking technologies audiences
have come to associate with MFF’s giant-screen films. ****
