Director Statement

This film was inspired by a poem I wrote about the location I was working and living in for a month or so , Great Yarmouth.
I went out with my camera to get cutaways of the town at night and we filmed the fishing sequence one Sunday afternoon.
I then cut the film in one day and did all the foley on my phone recorder in my hotel room.
It's all good practice!
