When you achieve your PADI Open Water Diver certification, you are allowed to dive 18 metres down. You can see turtles, and jellyfish, and coral, and breathe under water for 40 minutes.

This did not set me up for a lifetime of being a professional diver, but it could have set me up for being a niche film director, as I learnt while watching, a new documentary from streaming platform Shudder that investigates Hollywood’s super-profitable, sordid history with the toothy creatures. In this,writer-director Chris Kentis expresses similar sentiments: “In every movie you see sharks underwater, and I never found them scary underwater, and diving with them is amazing.
