The Last Dive

Cody Sheehy is an award-winning filmmaker whose films intimately tell the stories of characters challenged by our changing world. We had already worked with him on his film “Make People Better”, which won at DocVille.

THE LAST DIVE is a tale of friendship, healing, resilience, mortality and the urgent need to protect our planet’s fragile ecosystems. Terry Kennedy, a former associate of the Hells Angels, once formed an unlikely bond with a giant manta ray named Willy. Now he makes one final dive expedition to San Benedicto, a remote island off the coast of Mexico, hoping to reunite with his extraordinary ocean friend.

The film won Best Cinematography in a Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Festival 2025, Best Documentary at the Montreal Film Festival and the Audience Award at the Boston Film Festival.

We truly enjoyed working on this project, exploring the landscapes around the island and bringing them to life. One of the most exciting parts was transforming real hurricane data into dynamic visual paths. As part of the project, we produced a package of explanatory animations and 3D maps, some of which can be viewed below.
