Overview
A coastline portrait in eleven flying days.
The Harbour Trust preserves working fishing ports threatened by development. We traced three of them from the air — dawn launches, net-mending afternoons, storms rolling over the breakwater.
All flights were licensed, insured and cleared with harbourmasters; ground interviews were recorded by our documentary fixers between tides.
Approach
Fly like a gull, not a missile.
Slow lateral moves, long lenses from altitude, and endless patience for weather windows. The film's signature shot — a two-minute unbroken harbour crossing at dusk — took four mornings to catch.
