Send Kelp! is a captivating eco-documentary directed by Blake McWilliam, centered on the inspiring journey of Frances, a passionate "seaweed nerd" who embarks on an ambitious mission to save the world—starting with a kelp farm. With no prior knowledge or experience in farming, Frances leaves behind her career as a lawyer and dives headfirst into the world of marine agriculture, driven by the hope that this remarkable organism can play a vital role in addressing global environmental challenges.

The film’s narrative is brought to life with stunning underwater cinematography, blending the mesmerising beauty of the ocean with the practical, hands-on challenges of starting a sustainable kelp farm. SEND KELP! draws comparisons to films like My Octopus Teacher and The Biggest Little Farm, as it showcases the intricate relationship between humans and nature, and the surprising potential of kelp as a game-changing resource in the fight against climate change.

Alongside Frances, the film introduces a quirky and compelling cast of characters, each bringing their own unique perspectives and expertise to the project. Together, they explore the myriad ways in which kelp farming can contribute to environmental restoration, from carbon sequestration to supporting marine biodiversity.

SEND KELP! is not just a documentary about seaweed; it's a story of hope, resilience, and the power of innovative thinking. It highlights how one person’s determination, paired with the untapped potential of nature, can spark meaningful change and inspire a global movement toward sustainability.
