Dive beneath the surface of Rhode Island’s waters with Ocean State, a four-part television series exploring the rich marine life, coastal communities, and conservation efforts of America's smallest state. Produced by Silent Flight Studios in partnership with Ocean State Media and The Nature Conservancy, the series begins filming in the waters off Rhode Island — with a special spotlight on Block Island, home to some of New England’s most remarkable biodiversity.
Premiering this winter on Ocean State Media, PBS’s Rhode Island affiliate, Ocean State will unfold in seasonal installments through 2027 and be available for streaming on the PBS Passport app.
Episode 1: "Secrets of the Seagrass" is currently Ocean State Media's most viewed TV program. Episode 2: "Winter in Rhode Island" premieres on May 15, 2026.
I joined the production team in 2025 as an assistant camera, working on shoots for all four episode installments of the docuseries. During expeditions offshore, I filmed wildlife and oceanic landscapes with drones, telephoto rigs, and underwater camera systems.
