SALT WATER TOWN

As rising sea levels loom across the coast of Wales, a father and son clash over the future of their failing caravan park. Owen Teale and Tom Glynn-Carney give harrowingly genuine performances in this visceral and fast paced family drama which intricately explores generational difference, climate change and toxic masculinity. After premiering at Raindance Film Festival and playing at BFI London Film Festival, Salt Water Town went on to win the Sony Future Filmmaker Award 2023.
