How Sereia's Work is Impacting the Community
“Sereia’s mission is so important to helping bridge the connection between seafood farms and chefs.Their mission to educate the public and the industry on best practices for sustainability is crucial for the food industry.They are the bridge connecting local businesses seeking each other to benefit the Florida community. These connections are highly needed and without their commitment to bringing together local fisheries and farms with chefs, I am afraid we will see great losses in this area.” Chef Dean Max
“Sarah Curry and her company, Sereia Films, are making a powerful impact on the South Florida community by connecting chefs and consumers with sustainable seafood options, as well as raising awareness about the importance of sustainable seafood and fostering a more eco-conscious food culture. Bravo!” Chef Michael Schwartz
“Urban Oasis Project has been working in Miami for 14 years to build a local food movement, but we've mostly focused on fruits and vegetables. Sereia has showcased sustainable seafood projects and expanded our knowledge base so we may share that with consumers. They've also helped directly connect those producers to us, so we now can directly represent them and sell their products. Their efforts are genuine and deep to create new economic opportunities while being environmentally friendly.” Art Friedrich, Urban Oasis Project
“Our commercial fishing families so appreciate Sarah giving us the opportunity to showcase our lobster business on film and let people see what we have done to make a sustainable living lobster and stone crabbing over 50 years. I hope we can continue with Sarah on many more commercial heritage fishing projects in the future. Sarah is a caring and wonderful person to work with.” Gary Nichols and the Nichols crew
“After having Sereia Films film on my I boat, I was inspired to share my work on social media (mainly Tik Tok). I share my experience as a commercial fisherman in South Florida and have nearly 62,000 followers on TikTok. Raising awareness about the importance of knowing where your seafood is from is part of what I share and I’m glad I got to work with Sereia Films. We continue to work together as I am a speaker for screenings and promote their other work.” Jesse Hayes, Commercial Bullynetter and Trapper
“The work of Sereia Films has been incredible over the past few years, not only for current and prospective aquaculture producers but also for the general public that attends the many events hosted by Sereia Films. There is an urgent need for increased domestic seafood production in the U.S., particularly in the South Florida region. Through the tours, events, and other stakeholder engagement activities conducted by Sereia Films, a multitude of seafood consumers and those involved in local food programs are exposed to sustainable seafood initiatives that can help transform our local food systems in the region. Sereia Films plays a critical role in helping highlight the incredible potential of domestic seafood producers while engaging food service professionals and other key stakeholders in helping the U.S. reach its full sustainable seafood production potential. The food systems of South Florida region, and the country as a whole, are in urgent need of the type of work conducted by Sereia Films and hopefully such efforts will continue in coming years.” Dr. John Stieglitz, Research Assistant Professor, University of Miami
“The exposure that our business has gotten through Sarah‘s documentary of our operation and the events of Florida seafood farmers that she has hosted have given our product a much wider set of potential customers and a great platform to communicate our core message that we can both accomplish commercial scale production of high-quality seafood fillets and protect the environment at the same time . She has been a pleasure to work with and we clearly recognize in her a passion and commitment to this big cause relating to the promotion of sustainable seafood . Thank you, Sereia films and thank you, Sarah Curry.” Michael Mogollon, CEO Suncoast Tilapia
"As the Director of Programming at WLRN, I have had the pleasure of collaborating with Sereia Films over the past few years, incorporating their exceptional seafood documentaries into our broadcast and streaming platforms. Notably, three of their documentaries were recently nominated for regional Suncoast Emmy Awards, a testament to their excellence. We are thrilled to continue working with Sereia Films, helping to distribute their content to our viewers. Reaching nearly 300,000 viewers across all our platforms each month, we engage a diverse audience that stands to gain immensely from these informative and impactful films." James March, Director of TV Programming WLRN
