Making of: The Last Whale Singer

Fifteen years ago, director Reza Memari watched a documentary about humpback whales and learned that they actually have singers within their groups. The idea for “The Last Whale Singer” was born – the adventure of a young humpback whale named Vincent who has to find his own song to save the underwater world from a sea monster. Reza Memari and producer Maite Woköck talk about their journey together, from the first sketches to a growing story universe surrounding Vincent and his friends, about the courage to venture into new technologies, international cooperation, and the protection of the oceans.
