About the Film:
The Shark is Still Working (TSISW) is a fan-made documentary about the impact and legacy of JAWS. The creator of JAWSmovie.com, Jake Gove, is one of the producers, along with Erik Hollander, James Gelet, and Michael Roddy, three JAWS fans. The score was composed by Michael McCormack. TSISW is highly regarded, with a perfect 100% rating on RottenTomatoes.com
We were fortunate to land all-new interviews with many people involved in the production of JAWS, including Steven Spielberg, Richard Dreyfuss, Roy Scheider, John Williams, Lorraine Gary, Joe Alves, Carl Gottlieb, Peter Benchley and others. The documentary is narrated by Roy Scheider in what would sadly be one of his last performances. Mr. Benchley’s interview would also sadly be his last.
TSISW also features interviews with Hollywood insiders that were inspired by JAWS, including
M. Night Shyamalan, Kevin Smith, Bryan Singer, Robert Rodriguez, Eli Roth and others. Also covered are JAWS fans, including the 2005 event – JAWSFest.

Can you tell me if there will be a screening in the NYC, Phila area this summer? If so, I’d love to meet you guys and do an interview for my website. I don’t have to tell you I’ve been jonesing for this Doc to be included in a Universal DVD collectors set but alas…
Thanks for any info you can forward to me.

Hello,
My name is Fredrik Liljegren and I am one of two Chief Editors of the Swedish web-based movie magazine Tellusfilm.com. Since the first time I heard about your documentary I’ve been waiting for a chance to see it, but to no avail. Unless you have any screenings planned in Gothenburg, Sweden, I’d like to ask if it would be possible to get a dvd screener of the movie. It would be an honor to review it on our site.
Best regards,
Fredrik Liljegren, Chief Editor tellusfilm.com
Gothenburg, Sweden.
P.S. I tried to send this to the info@sharkisstillworking.com address, but it bounced.
Hello,
I finaly saw TSISW in Ottawa, I have waited to see it for over 4 yres! It was great. It was followed by the origal 1975 Canadain 35 mm of the movie. I’m 34 and this was my B-day gift. Saw the SISW and Jaws for the first time both on the big screen! Great work. God Bless Roy!
Looking forward to a DVD Release Soon!!!!!!!!!!!!
Take care and thanks for making this and showing it in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada
yes i want to see this. been waiting for years and need to know if you are going to put it on dvd or in the movies?
Can I just buy a copy for say 50 bucks? I just want to watch it in the privacy of my own home.

Now, I know you must get a bunch of these messages each day, but I still felt the need to tell you how excited I am ’bout the eventual release of your documentary. It really can’t come soon enough! I’m still hoping that someone here in New Zealand steps up and organizes a local screening at a festival, but I’ll be just as happy when I’m able to order it for myself.
Anyway, great work!
Callum
