In Mist or Cloud (2024)
Selected for Offbeat Film Festival 2025


Seagulls are an essential requirement to any British seaside story. Over the past 55 years their population
has declined by over 75%, making them one of the fastest declining bird species in the UK.
This story takes its name from a line of 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner' by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, and follows
BirdAid, a charity based near Eastbourne as they release gulls back to the sea.
