Description

Created as my final-year dissertation film, this poetic documentary explores the evolving relationship between people and the sea along the North East coast. As cinematographer, I focused on the shifting moods of the landscape and how they mirrored each subject’s connection to the water. Filming ranged from quiet time with a coastal artist to early trips with a fisherman. I also edited the film, which meant shaping very different lives into one clear emotional journey. The final piece is a personal reflection on how the ocean influences identity, work, and memory in the region.
