The Future Belongs to those who Believe
SeaBelievers and Studio 100 Media have joined forces to make waves in ECOtainment
This year, the Earth Day (April 22) theme is Invest In Our Planet. Everybody is urged to contribute to this partnership for the planet in hopes to inspire Earth Day every day. With the new CGI-animated TV show, SeaBelievers producer and SeaEO Brien P. Arone and distributor Studio 100 Media want to take action and teach children what we all can do to make a difference. Brien P. Arone, Founder and SeaEO, speaks passionately about the creation of SeaBelievers. “Our modern internet-connected world is an incredible place to live. But if life couldn’t be better, why does our instinct keep telling us something is wrong? “People have boosted our natural abilities to do just about anything these days—from combating global pandemics to exploring the far reaches of space. Technology keeps us informed and connected and all at the speed of light. But in the process, we have tuned out the cry of our planet. We’ve become smarter than ever about producing our much-needed energy, but it’s hard to compete with the wisdom of Mother Nature herself. Somehow, we must train ourselves to respond to the dangers we face while overcoming the lifestyle that causes them. “Thankfully, the SeaBelievers are here to help! “Driven by a desire to help and a refusal to leave problems unchecked, our main hero Amelia inspires kids on how to build self-belief while being the change they want to see in the world with the help of five adorable oceangrown superheroes. “Each hero embodies a different type of organic superpower fueled by selfbelief, making it easy for kids to grow up aware of what all our planet has to offer while knowing how powerful they can be in life when they believe in themselves. Together, they adventure toward the path of enlightenment bringing with them the most important believer of all… the child on the other side of the screen. “Continuing the long heritage of influential evergreen content, each episode of “SeaBelievers” directly involves the kids watching the show. As the future of change on this planet, kids find themselves in the unique position of being born smack in the middle of a stubborn world, yet unbiased and open from birth. Kids not only see the SeaBelievers as their own diverse

group of friends but their personal heroes leading the way toward the future. “Their mission is simple: Bring about a deeper understanding of the issues afflicting our planet in order to reconnect with Mother Nature. This not only teaches kids how to save their planet but also to keep saving her with new ways to power our lives while always believing in yourself. Each show’s adventure teaches kids how they can apply practical, real-world solutions with unadulterated fun and exciting ways. “The only tricky part comes from dealing with misled “baddies”, the De-
SEAvers who love to invest in quick and easy solutions. But Amelia and the SeaBelievers know better. The DeSEAvers may offer instant gratification, but with that comes a dump truck full of consequences. By the end of each show, they show the DeSEAvers that their outdated ways are actually doing more harm than good, both to us and the planet itself. “Mother Earth is tired of waiting and now the pressure is on. The SeaBelievers use that sense of urgency as fuel to stay present and deepen connections which lead to choices that help everyone. Our kids don’t yet know the extent of the mess they’re inheriting, and with the help of their favorite heroes, they will hopefully only read about it in history books. “Working against a world set in motion by past generations, it will take baby steps to change the course of the planet. Luckily that’s our kids’ specialty! Baby steps. By tackling hard issues through the awesome power of friendship, it fuels the self-belief that we can nurture a more balanced world.
“The future belongs to those who believe!”
