Jeremy Monroe

Roles: Director

I came to educational filmmaking, photography, and writing from a background in aquatic ecology, and through a motivation to share the vibrant aquatic worlds that have always inspired me. Through the nonprofit organization, Freshwaters Illustrated, I work to produce images and stories about freshwater life, which is among the most diverse and threatened on earth. By sharing the nature and wonder of these ecosystems, along with the people who work to understand and preserve them, I try to celebrate the rich connections we all have to water. It is that deeper connection that I hope can inspire more sympathy for freshwater life, and that might contribute to a broader movement to conserve these ecosystems.
