From dugout to Nelson's mistress and Rowney's Muse, step aboard as Chris Bean charts his fishing career through a succession of boats he has steered a zillion times around Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay in search of his daily fish.
Cornish Captain Bean's (whose woolly hat has the appearance of having been with him from birth) intimate narration of a fisherman's life which, after a promising career start at the renowned Camborne School of Mines, eventually ends up with him on, rather than under, the surface of the world.
This, the second of two fishing story movies shot by two adventurous University College Falmouth students for their end of year project - all the films will be premiered at Pixel8 in June. Hat's off to Alex Hudson and William Darby for not only committing to a full week aboard a modern fishing boat (as in filming The Beamer) but also in showing enough commitment by obtaining the same safety certificates as is required for all fishermen these days - so if the degree fails to get you a job guys you won't have any trouble finding work aboard one of the Cornish fishing fleet!
