BrewDog is funding the Spirit Studios production and will produce an exclusive beer to raise funds for shark support groups.<\/p>\n<p>Executive producers are Spirit Studios&#8217; Matt Campion and Martin Sadofski and BrewDog&#8217;s Watt.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSpirit Studios\u2019 mission is to create content that effects change through entertainment, and when we heard about the project, we knew we had to get involved,\u201d said Campion, co-founder and creative director of Spirit Studios. \u201cNot only are we focused on creating an impactful film that will drive awareness and change attitudes around the issue of shark extinction, we aim to encourage \u2018couch activism\u2019 and inspire people to make the changes needed to reverse the decline of these magnificent, much misunderstood and indispensable creatures.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have always been insanely passionate about sharks and the ocean,\u201d added Watt. \u201cSharks are being killed at an alarming rate, and 90 percent of the world\u2019s sharks have been killed in the last 50 years. Unless something changes quickly, sharks face extinction, and if that happens, the whole ocean ecosystem will fall apart. With 70 percent of the air we breathe coming from the ocean, saving the sharks is vital for our planet\u2019s future. I am really excited to be working with Matt and the team at Spirit on this completely new type of documentary where we put the viewer firmly in the driving seat.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Channel 4-backed Spirit Studios has teamed with James Watt, co-founder of the multinational brewery BrewDog, for Mission Finpossible, highlighting the shark extinction threat.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":17430,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[5966,5967],"class_list":["post-17429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-brewdog","tag-spirit-studios","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Spirit Studios Partners with James Watt for Shark Documentary - TVREAL<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Spirit Studios Partners with James Watt for Shark Documentary - TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Channel 4-backed Spirit Studios has teamed with James Watt, co-founder of the multinational brewery BrewDog, for Mission Finpossible, highlighting the shark extinction threat.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVREAL\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2022-01-10T16:33:06+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/12\/2017\/07\/SpiritStudios-0122.jpg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"600\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"337\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/\",\"name\":\"Spirit Studios Partners with James Watt for Shark Documentary - TVREAL\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2022-01-10T16:33:06+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2022-01-10T16:33:06+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/spirit-studios-partners-with-james-watt-for-shark-documentary\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Spirit Studios Partners with James Watt for Shark Documentary\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/\",\"name\":\"TVREAL\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvreal\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
