Director Statement

Coming from an Irish seaside small town, I wanted to capture the lively hustle and bustle of a town like the fictional St Wallace-on-Sea. We shot the entire film on location in Whitstable with an amazing cast and crew in only four days on a small budget. I'm extremely happy with the result considering this was my first serious film project.
