Film Screening: A Sturgeon Story

In 2022, co-directors Justin Black, Will Gemma and Dietrich Teschner won Best Virginia Film at the Richmond International Film Festival with their film Headwaters Down, a story of 250 miles of “paddling, preservation, and misadventure” over 13 days on the James River. Now, their creative team produced A Sturgeon Story, which follows the adventures of three friends trying to film the epic breaching of the recently returned Atlantic Sturgeon in the James River during their seasonal run.

The Robins Nature Center will have extended hours for participants to see live Atlantic Sturgeon. Film screening event is free with RNC admission. Refreshments will be available for purchase. A discussion with the film creators and Atlantic Sturgeon experts will follow the screening.
