...well, this film is about beauty, ...also about the beauty in the beast ...and how to interact respectful with . Ai is doing it beautifully I believe. She deserves our full respect, not because it is dangerous to dive with sharks, but for how she becomes a part of the environment she is in.

Hi Tim, ...my pleasure too!

I hope all is fine in Guam or wherever you are right now.

Hope to see you again somewhere on the blue planet.

Cheers,

Thanks MonteSwimmer! The footage was more or less taken accidentially as Ai was working with Tim Rock and I just took some scenes when it was not disturbing their session. While shooting I had no intension to make a short film.

Messing with fire with those sharks!! The safe procedure in a situation such as that ,would be to swim totally naked!!
