Over the last year I've been completing a Masters in Wildlife filmmaking. As part of the course we're tasked with creating a short documentary.

This was the first film I've ever made.

The story:

Escaping the trauma of her childhood, Katie returns to the ocean, finding solace and peace in the underwater world.

As she confronts her anxiety, the ocean helps her rediscover the adventurous girl she once was. The ocean welcomes her back and Katie realises the impact it's had on her life.

Experiencing the power of the ocean, she hopes to share that connection with others, guiding them towards the same sense of freedom, escapism and happiness that she discovered in this hidden underwater world.
