>> The new feature film, OTTER 501, is opening at Santa Barbara’s Metro 4 Cinema on Friday, June 8th, and playing until Thursday, June 14th. The film tells the true story of a baby otter who washed ashore when she was less than a week old, who then became part of the Monterey Bay Aquarium's sea otter surrogate program (where she was given the tag 501). Parallel to this is the fictionalized story of the young women who found little 501, got involved with the Aquarium's volunteer program, and found her calling for ocean activism.

>> The goals in making OTTER 501 were really twofold – to bring attention to the plight of sea otters and to encourage environmental awareness and scientific curiosity in children and adults.Though the film recently received some great reviews from Scientific American andThe Huffington Post, they are a small, independent film and would greatly appreciate any assistance you could offer to get this important story out into the world!
