Overview

• The film debuted in competition at the Venice Film Festival’s Orizzonti section on August 30.
• Set in a Cornish fishing village, the story follows a mysteriously returned trawler whose new crew comes back to shore into an earlier era.
• Jenkin shot on 16mm with a hand‑cranked Bolex that limited takes to about 27 seconds, with all dialogue and effects created later through rigorous ADR he helped perform.
• Production relied on a real local fisherman’s vessel owned by Lee Carter, with MacKay and Turner performing physically demanding on‑camera fishing work.
• Critics note a stronger move toward horror within Jenkin’s signature analogue aesthetic, and Protagonist Pictures is handling international sales ahead of New York and London festival screenings.
