PATRICK AND THE WHALE
1 Hour, 12 Minutes

Zoom Q&A with Director Mark Fletcher and Cinematographer Patrick Dykstra

For twenty years, Patrick Dykstra has dedicated his life to traveling the globe, following, and diving with whales. Over the years, he has learned how whales see and hear, how they perceive other creatures in the water, and how they behave at close quarters. In Dominica in 2019, Patrick had a close encounter with a female sperm whale. Patrick felt an overwhelming sense that she was genuinely trying to communicate. Employing stunning cinematography, and with a keen ear tuned to the whale's song of clicks and whistles, the film follows Patrick as he takes us under the seas again to search for the special whale he named "Dolores," so she can help him show us the hidden world of her species.
