A collaboration with older participants from Beech Street Residential Care Home and Father James Walsh Day Care Centre in South Tyneside. This is a collection of imaginary and memory tales about the ocean as explored by the participants. All the elements of filmmaking ie. the sound track, camera, editing, sound mixing, scripting, narration, acting etc are performed by the participants themselves.

This represents Skimstone’s collaborative approach to participation that reflects all participants’ equal involvement in the creative process and decision-making. The film was successfully screened at Customs House Art Centre in South Shields, South Shields Central Library as well as their own homes.
