A special thanks must go to Spencer Grant (@SpencerGrantV), one of our Assistant Editors/3rd ADs on the film, who stepped in to translate Sealskin into French for the audience at Villes Soeurs.

It’s been so lovely to meet @TheDaisyDeer and collaborate with her to relaunch Dissecting the Scene, a YouTube series on @thelightleaks! Featuring @SealskinF, a gorgeous short film inspired by Celtic selkie folklore! 🦭❤️🌊

[Sealskin // Short Film @SealskinF]

A big thank you to Lauren and Kim over at @thelightleaks for their wonderful support and enthusiasm for the Sealskies and their work! ✨

Ready to jump back into the Sealskin world?

Our director, Daisy Leigh-Phippard, has been working with @thelightleaks, an organisation created for the support, empowerment and education of women and non-binary filmmakers, to dissect one of the scenes from Sealskin.

[Sealskin // Short Film @SealskinF]

We're excited to announce that this has now been released! Watch for a behind the scenes look at Tara and Shona's argument including directing actors, the symbolism of white dresses and our production designer having to retie a package after every take.

We're so excited to reveal that Sealskin is being featured in Storytelling for Directors, an actual published book from Bren Simson detailing the script to screen process for film directors!

Bren was a mentor to our director and wider crew during their time at @BournemouthFilm

[Sealskin // Short Film @SealskinF]

We still look forward to being a part of this wonderful film festival and appreciate all the efforts of the team over in Rouen to make this festival happen physically and safely for the filmmakers and cinephiles attending 🌊

[Sealskin // Short Film @SealskinF]

Due to the measures recently put in place in France to protect its citizens from Covid-19, the This is England - Rouen Film Festival is currently postponing its physical festival until January 2021.

[Sealskin // Short Film @SealskinF]

Sealskin, which was chosen as part of the Official Selection for the festival, was previously scheduled to screen to a full cinema audience in Rouen on November 14th and will now be moving with the rest of the festival's screening.
