The Brief
Tell the story of a dairy producer in Carmarthenshire facing closure in the aftermath of the pandemic.
The Idea
One farm, one family, one year that decided everything.
My Contribution
I directed and produced the film personally: observational shooting on location in Carmarthenshire, landscape and character photography, and a cut built around what the subject wasn't saying.
The Production
An independent production shot on location — observational filming with the family across the year, which I edited into the final film.
The Result
Recognised through the BAFTA-affiliated Carmarthen Bay Film Festival, and the clearest statement of my work as a filmmaker rather than only an executive producer.
