DOCUMENTARY OF CORNISH FISHERMAN TO STAY AFLOAT IS RECEIVING CULT ATTRACTION. FILM MAKER JED TREWIN HAS FORMED A CLOSE BOND WITH FISHERMAN MARTIN ELLIS WHO HE HAS KNOWN SINCE SCHOOL DAYS. JED KNOWS FIRST HAND WHAT IT’S LIKE TO BE IN A SINKING BOAT, SO HIS DELICATE TREATMENT OF MARTINS BITTER SWEET STORY- IS UNDERSTANDABLE. PRIOR SHOWINGS OF THE FILM ‘ TROUBLED WATERS ’ HAS PLAYED TO PACKED HOUSES.
Cornwall cannot be said to have a huge film and TV infrastructure, but the Cornish can certainly tell a good yarn. My own film favourite is Troubled Waters by Jed Trewin, the powerful story of the plight of Cornish fisherman made with real heart and soul (Vertigo magazine
