Rutgers University is developing a large-format, scientific, documentary film about the evolving scientific investigation of deep-sea hydrothermal vents. Volcanoes of the Abyss (working title) will be produced in conjunction with Volcanic Ocean Films and produced/directed by Stephen Low. It will examine the communities these vents support and their relationship to the surrounding environment. It also will consider the implications vent discoveries have for our understanding of the evolution of life and our search for life elsewhere in the Cosmos. Much of the filming will be done from on board the Alvin deep ocean research vessel.The companion Educational Outreach Program will reach students in middle and secondary schools and at the college level. Print-based and web-based material also will be designed for use by families. The film and the outreach materials together will be the basis of a substantive educational effort to inform the public about the intricacies and significance of the fascinating, but largely unknown, ecosystem.

罗格斯大学正在制作一部关于深海热液喷口科学研究进展的大画幅科学纪录片。《深渊火山》（暂定名）将与火山海洋电影公司联合制作，斯蒂芬·洛（Stephen Low）监制/导演。它将检查这些通风口支持的社区及其与周围环境的关系。它还将考虑喷口的发现对我们理解生命进化和在宇宙其他地方寻找生命的意义。大部分拍摄工作将在阿尔文号深海研究船上完成。配套的教育推广计划将覆盖中学生和大学生。印刷材料和网络材料也将设计供家庭使用。这部电影和外联材料一起将成为一个实质性教育努力的基础，让公众了解这个迷人但基本上不为人知的生态系统的复杂性和重要性。
