The Oceans to the Classroom program was created to enhance science education through the use of digital media and discussion while at the same time offering schools the chance to raise money for those special projects. We bring the "field trip experience to the school." Since 2005, Rio Films has been entertaining and educated students K-12 with our recent award-winning film "Sea Lions-An Unforgettable Encounter" while engaging young learners in an exciting discussion about the Channel Islands ecosystem off southern California. The program thus far has been a tremendous success! It's not just watching a movie....it's an adventure and exploration!

Perhaps no area of endeavor better exemplifies humanity's quest for knowledge- or more vividly shows how we use knowledge in attempting to improve life on our planet- than the subject of science. Every day, everywhere in the world, science's central place in our lives is demonstrated in countless ways. From a child's point of view, science is important because it is the source of many thrilling discoveries. Many adults today attest to the fact that science first awakened their love of learning and prompted their enthusiasm to learn more.

Rio Films would come to your school and set-up a premier of "Sea Lions" followed by a presentation and Q&A by the film's director Alan De Herrera about sea lions and their Channel Islands environment proceeding the show. We can do multiple presentations in one day for science classes or 1 show for the entire school. Rates are very reasonable. We can provide a video projector, screen and DVD player.
Rio Films can premier our current film "Sea Lions" followed by a Q&A/presentation on the Channel Islands by the director Alan De Herrera to a ticketed audience at your school as a fundraising event. There is no charge for this type of event and the tickets revenue is split. Rio Films would also donate 20% of the proceeds from merchandise sales (DVDs, Coloring Books, Stuffed Animals, etc.) back to the school. This in effect creates a very cost efficient way of raising money while putting the "Fun" back in fundraising! We can also set-up a flat up-front fee which wouldn't require a split in ticket sales if your school prefers. Rio Films can provide a video projector, screen and DVD player.
