Shelby Kulz
Shelby Kulz was always a good shot.
During her days on the hardwood for Coupeville High School, the 2012 grad drained her fair share of jumpers for the Wolf girls’ basketball squad.
Now she’s taken her keen shooting eye and turned it in the direction of film-making.
Kulz, who works as a picker on the harvest boat for Penn Cove Shellfish, just posted to YouTube a five-minute documentary film she shot depicting life and work on the water.
It’s the continuation of a skill she also showcased while at CHS.
“When I was in high school I did documentaries for History Day, but this is my first movie with all of my own footage,” Kulz said. “I plan on making more movies for Penn Cove in the near future, focusing on different parts of the company such as the warehouse and seed crew.”
When she’s not shooting, Kulz works in the heart of the mussel harvesting operation.
“What happens is when the mussel is pulled and goes through all the machines, it’s poured onto a conveyer belt and we have to pick out all the broken mussel, the barnacles, and the clumps of mussel called byss,” Kulz said. “From there it’s bagged out and sent to the warehouse.”
