18m
In coastal New England, pond after pond of aquaculture stretches to the horizon, and seafood is not just a meal but a way of life. There, a wave of women is reshaping the age-old oyster farming industry. To introduce outsiders to the art and science of oyster farming, the 18:23 film is both a 'primer' and a series of character studies of passionate oyster farmers. The film explores shifting dynamics in this historically male-dominated world, driven by women who avoid drawing attention to their gender, knowing their work ethic matters more than raw physical strength.
