Always curious, Inka combines her passion for science, nature and travelling in her work as a science journalist. Born in Germany, she moved to Valencia in 2012 to live near the ocean – a lifelong dream of hers. WHITE WAVES is born from another passion: surfing. The documentary allows her to not only investigate widely unnoticed pollution in our seas, but also show how surfers’ love for nature can positively affect things. “A story can only be a good story if you see the sites of the events with your own eyes and listen to the people.”

Before even starting his career in audiovisual communication, Carlos bought his first camera to cover sports events and enter into the production of videos for music festivals. His work gives him the possibility to capture in images all that relates to people and life. In doing so, nature and the sea have always played a special role for him. Surfing himself for almost two decades, water and waves let him free his mind and search for new inspiration – for his life, for WHITE WAVES. This helps Carlos to find the right composition of pictures to show the problem of marine pollution in all its complexity.

Jordi has been playing instruments since he was five and never lost the urge to keep playing them. While improvising music for WHITE WAVES, he kept the idea of playfulness.
