A documentary portrait of a coastal town, cut to the rhythm of the tide.

The challenge

The Trust needed to make a slow, structural problem — coastal erosion — feel urgent and human without lapsing into a fundraising cliché.

Our approach

We embedded for a season and let the town narrate itself, editing to the tide's own cadence so the film feels observed rather than argued.
