Every night across the globe, billions of zooplankton migrate from the depths of the ocean to its surface. This diverse community includes pelagic creatures that spend their entire lives in the open ocean, as well as the planktonic larval stages of various taxonomic groups. This short film, "Fall into the Galaxy," offers an illuminating glimpse into the enigmatic early developmental stages of cephalopods, while immersing viewers in the unique morphology and behaviors of these creatures in the open ocean at night.
Taken during scuba diving, reaching up to 30 meters deep in Batangas Bay, Philippines, the video showcases iconic species such as paper nautiluses, baby diamond squid, juvenile Wunderpus octopuses, and more.

Join female filmmakers and producers Jennifer Idol and Alex Rose as they dive into the many marine protected areas in Southern California. Much like national parks on land, MPAs provide a refuge for nature in the ocean and places for people to enjoy the natural beauty of these ecosystems. 
California is home to a unique network of 124 MPAs created to protect our valuable ocean resources. Jennifer and Alex were initially drawn to La Jolla because of its Leopard Shark aggregation, but as their travels progressed, they encountered an exciting range of local marine creatures - some expected, some unexpected - but all valuable. 
They discovered that the regionâs MPAs support vastly more species than they set out to film, and that without their protected status, none of this complex marine ecosystem would persist.
