The screening has multiple award winners, big festival winners (Oscar and BAFTA qualifying), with home-grown local talent on screen too. Alice Ward’s widely recognised film Salt, Maddie Meddings film Undercurrents, and Bella Bunce’s film Unplugged (first female editor of Wavelength magazine) are amongst five others – there are eight shorts in total.

Faith and confidence

“It’s brilliant to be able to screen the work with Merlin Cinemas,” Guy Potter told D&CFilm. “Their new venue The Ritz in Penzance is an astonishing investment and real proof to the faith and confidence in the creative/performance industries in the South West. We’re all very grateful to Merlin for having us!”

Out Of Sink

Guy shot Saltwater Breath with Nahlia Loren Couto, about the women who make up Out Of Sink, the eco-synchro swimming group in Penzance, formed by Mary Woodvine – currently starring in that film and Rose Of Nevada (showing two nights earlier in the same venue.

“It’s going to be a great night, some brilliant films from some brilliant filmmakers. A few award-winners, a few having their debut on the big screen, but all are top-tier and deserve to be up in front of the biggest audience possible.
