Shark Kingdom at the AutoNation® IMAX® 3D Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science

Go nose-to-nose and fin-to-fin with the ocean's top predators in scenic and remote waters around the world in Shark Kingdom, a new 3D documentary, at the AutoNation® IMAX® Theater at the Museum of Discovery and Science (MODS), the largest screen in South Florida. Follow an all-female cast of shark conservation superwomen Jess Cramp, Liv Rose and Cristina Zenato as they dive into the kingdom of sharks, get up-close and personal with these awe-inspiring creatures and uncover their secrets to fight for the future of our shared oceans. From great whites hunting in the wild and windswept seas of New Zealand, whaler sharks learning to coexist with Australian fishermen, to elusive oceanic white tip “shipwreck sharks” traversing uncharted depths of the Pacific, each shark species wields unique survival powers in their distinct environments.

Shark Kingdom is an epic family adventure, revealing how the ocean's top predator uses hidden super senses to be a key player in the marine ecosystem. The movie grew from a childhood fascination with sharks from filmmaker, biologist and diver Matt Tomaszewski, who spent years filming sharks.

Tomaszewski and the crew traversed the world in search of some of the highest concentrations of sharks: the Maldives, Tahiti, the Cook Islands; Lord Howe Island, the Australian version of Galapagos Islands; even a tiny island deep in the Southern Ocean, home to great whites. By virtue of having healthy shark populations, these places are also quite untouched and incredibly photogenic for the giant screen.

Carrying hundreds of kilos of giant screen filming equipment off the grid is no vacation, however. Underwater filming is a complex puzzle of weather, ocean currents and the sharks themselves. Audiences will be treated to the best and most magical moments captured on camera - think seas so clear you can see the clouds from 30 meters below water and being surrounded by more than one hundred sharks swimming peacefully around you.

Through the eyes of shark scientists, divers and even a “shark whisperer,” audiences will see another side of sharks. The filmmakers hope that the women who study and protect sharks in this film will inspire the young and young-at-heart.

Shark Kingdom is produced by Definition Studios and distributed by K2 Studios. For more information, visit sharkkingdomfilm.com.
