Filmmaker Ian Shive On Shooting 'Shark Week' Footage In Cuba
(FOX 11) Shark Week returns July 5 through July 12 to Discovery Channel, and for the first time ever, it includes an expedition to Cuba.
Filmmaker Ian Shive and a team of shark researchers went to Havana earlier this year in search of a 21-foot Great White named "El Monstruo." While searching Cuban waters for these sharks, Shive and his team were able to electronically tag for the first time ever a rare species of shark in the process.
Lucky for us -- Shive stopped by Good Day LA to talk about his experience shooting "Tiburones: Sharks of Cuba," which premieres July 7 at 9/8c on Discovery Channel.
