Screening of "In the Whale"
This screening features a feature documentary from Emmy nominee and Pulitzer Prize-winning Boston Globe reporter David Abel that recounts the ordeal of Michael Packard, a commercial lobster diver who was swallowed by a humpback whale off Cape Cod and survived. Blending cinematography with personal storytelling, the film looks at the incident’s effects on Packard and his community. It has been recognized with the Audience Choice Award at the New Hampshire Film Festival and Best New England Film at the Mystic Film Festival. A discussion with the filmmakers follows the screening. David Abel covers environmental issues for The Boston Globe and is a professor of the practice at Boston University. His reporting has earned the Edward R. Murrow Award, the Ernie Pyle Award from the Scripps Howard Foundation, and the Sigma Delta Chi Award for Feature Reporting. His films include Entangled, which aired on PBS’s World Channel, received a 2022 Emmy nomination, and won a Jackson Wild award and Best Feature Film at the International Wildlife Film Festival, as well as Sacred Cod for the Discovery Channel, two films about the Boston Marathon bombings that aired on BBC World News and Discovery Life, Lobster War, and Gladesmen. On In the Whale he serves as producer, director, writer, and cinematographer. Andy Laub, founder of Andy Laub Films, has worked as a writer, cinematographer, editor, visual effects artist, expedition coordinator, and composer for outlets including the Discovery Channel, National Geographic Channel, PBS World Channel, BBC World News, Amazon Prime, and Hulu. He co-produced, wrote, and edited Entangled, Sacred Cod, Lobster War, and Gladesmen with Abel. His projects have covered topics such as urban growth in Mongolia, Hopi building traditions, wildlife in the Pyrenees, and a 1,200-mile trek on the Pacific Northwest Trail.
