A 14-minute film about art, desperation, and the last house on a dying coast.
Life at the end of the line has always been tough. With the cost of living going up and pressure to cash in on their now quaint fishing cottage's financial potential, Biddy and Rob find themselves at the end of the line in more ways than one. However Biddy has a plan, Biddy has an idea, Biddy has a desire to paint. The question is will any of her work save them from financial ruin, and who at the end of the line will take notice?
Acting
Janet Amsden's restrained desperation in every cramped frame.
Cinematography
Cottage as character—claustrophobic, leaky, defiant.
Director
Ben Kernow
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Kernow shot in actual Cornish fishing villages facing identical economic pressure; several locations no longer exist due to coastal erosion.
The title 'Art' deliberately shares spelling with 'art' as in 'artifice'—Biddy's authenticity versus the performance of coastal quaintness tourists consume.
