WHY BLUEFISH

The name Bluefish originally refers to the aggressive ocean dwellers that cannot be confined together without devouring each other. Clark felt this was a powerful metaphor for the enforced conditions we were all experiencing. Bluefish was performed live across the globe via Zoom to several hundred invited guests. The response was overwhelmingly positive and provoked a lot of thoughtful discussion. Despite the primitive aspect of the technology the ‘live film’ connected with the audience on a surprisingly intimate level, and a plan to develop the material into a feature film evolved. Bluefish will now be recaptured in 4K and superior sound,

remotely from locations all across the globe, to allow us to share this unique anthology film featuring an internationally recognized cast to a worldwide audience.
