Here is my "final" project for the Blue Horizons class. It's 7 1/2 minutes long, but I am working towards expanding the film to thirty minutes during Fall of 2007 such as to add it to the venue of the local Santa Barbara Cable Station (channel 17) (in addition to finding a Ph.D committee and writing a final book chapter on the ecology of size). Good luck on my multi-tasking... ;-0 This first part primarily attacks the underlying philosophies of consumer behavior mirroring producers' illusion of choice, distant managers syndrome, and incumbent scientific thought and convention, and introduces the concept of the Matrix of Human Ecology, and how this Matrix model is applied to a seafood item, such as the local, sustainably caught rock crab of Santa Barbara County. Upon extending this film, I will have the opportunity to "connect the dots" and orient the audience to the entire "zen of rock crab," such that I traced the lifecycle of the rock crab from the ocean to the dinner table. Comical characters include fishermen, distributors, grocery store managers, localized marketmen, a 5-star restaurant owner, scientists, the early bird Asian community, and even rebellious ex-college seafood-savvy Saturday night rock-crab consumer partiers! I am shocked and honored that my teacher, Michael Hanrahan of the Ocean Channel, provided me with a license agreement such that this film shall be shown on the Ocean Channel at www.ocean.com. I am thankful for the emotional and intellectual support from myriads of people, the utopia environment of Santa Barbara, and the gestalt of Blue Horizons at UCSB, for providing me with the necessary tools for creative scientific story-telling, and an optimal way to channel my excessive amounts of energy and visuoacoustic, creative ideas!
