FILM INFORMATION
Watch the trailer
All Too Clear uses cutting-edge underwater drones to explore how quadrillions of tiny invasive mussels, known as quaggas, are re-engineering the ecosystem of the Great Lakes at a scale not seen since the glaciers. To capture this epic change, the husband-and-wife filmmaking team of Zach Melnick and Yvonne Drebert spent more than 150 days filming underwater, making it the most ambitious underwater film ever made about the Great Lakes. Part scientific exploration, part natural history adventure – the film showcases freshwater wildlife and environments like never before.
Filmmakers Yvonne Drebert and Zach Melnick are the founders of Inspired Planet Productions, located on the beautiful Saugeen (Bruce) Peninsula in Ontario. For more than two decades, the husband-and-wife team have been shining the spotlight on Canadian nature and history stories, creating more than 40 hours of broadcast documentary, including the 2021 Canadian Screen Award nominated series, Striking Balance. For their 2024 series All Too Clear, Drebert and Melnick shifted their lens to the underwater world. Using cutting-edge ROVs, they immerse themselves in rarely seen aquatic environments, capturing extraordinary wildlife behaviours, and even discovering the occasional shipwreck.
