FILM SCREENING + EVENT
Playing with Sharks
Saturday, June 12th, 7:00PM Doors || 8:15PM Show Start
The Central Coast State Parks Association (CCSPA), in collaboration with National Geographic, SLOMotion Film and There Does Not Exist Brewery, is excited to present Playing with Sharks, a film by National Geographic that promotes marine conservation and advocacy.
As part of CCSPA’s Get Outside! Film Series, all proceeds from this event fund public outreach and education that celebrate the biodiversity of the Central Coast within our local State Parks. Together we can continue to educate our future environmental stewards, advocate for the preservation and protection of our natural resources and open spaces, and support the wonderful programming offered at each of our Central Coast State Parks.
In addition to the film screening, There Does Not Exist Brewery will be launching a limited edition small batch ale that supports our Central Coast State Parks! A portion of proceeds from the sale of this beer supports CCSPA’s efforts.

PROGRAM
Playing with Sharks
90 minutes, written and directed by Sally Aitken, 2021
A true pioneer in both underwater filmmaking and shark research, Valerie Taylor is a living legend and icon in the underwater world whose life’s work has become the basis for much of what we know about sharks today. Through remarkable underwater archival footage, along with interviews with Valerie herself, PLAYING WITH SHARKS, from twice Emmy®-nominated director Sally Aitken, follows this daring ocean explorer’s trajectory from champion spearfisher to passionate shark protector. From the birth of cage diving to “Jaws” hysteria, to the dawn of cageless shark diving, Valerie became a trailblazing advocate for the ocean’s most maligned and misunderstood creatures.
