The Art of Catching Lobsters
1 X 90’ for BBC4

In this extraordinary film shot on the rugged North Cornwall coast, director Jane Darke starts recording her husband Nick's life as a fisherman, beachcomber and playwright. Already recovering from a stroke, Nick is then unexpectedly diagnosed with cancer. From that moment forward, Jane's film captures Nick's attempts to pass on knowledge and experience to his sons, and becomes a very moving and honest account of loss, grief and hope. This film was a co-production with Boatshed Films.
