Sharkwater Extinction is a 2018 Canadian documentary film, directed by Rob Stewart. It premiered at the 2018 Toronto International Film Festival.[1] A sequel to his 2006 film Sharkwater, the film, which Stewart was working on at the time of his death in a diving accident in January 2017,[2] was completed by the Rob Stewart Foundation and editor Nick Hector.[3][4]
The film premiered on September 7, 2018, at a TIFF "Special Event" that served as both the film screening and a memorial tribute to Stewart.[5] It is also booked for a gala screening at the Cinéfest Sudbury International Film Festival,[6] as well as screenings at the Calgary International Film Festival[7] and the Vancouver International Film Festival.[8] Rob Stewart's mother, Sandy Stewart, said "[the] entire team stayed with it, everybody stepped up. We have people from all over the world — cinematographers, filmmakers, really important people — offering to help finish this, and that was really heartwarming."[9]
