Filming From The Farallons

Karen Rogers swim from the Farallon Islands to Aquatic Park will be filmed by Roger Teich and Elizabeth Pepin Silva.

Roger previously filmed an equally courageous Ron Elliott who is the only sea urchin diver who works off the Farallon Islands where he shares the ocean with the Great White Sharks.

Roger's riveting footage of Ron's work - right where Karen will be swimming - is below.

Elizabeth is a prolific and award-winning filmmaker well-known for her photography in the surfing world and inspirational filmmaking of female athletes.

Roger and Elizabeth will undoubtedly be able to paint an incredible picture on the canvas known as the Pacific Ocean.
