Ribbons & Seashells

Ribbons & Seashells is a short sentimental film set in the 1930s which focuses on a father and daughter dealing with a recent loss in their family. The narrative follows a young girl as she tries to find colour - both literally and symbolically - in an otherwise black-and-white world, through the memory of her mother and the friendships that she forms.
Set in the beautiful Strangford and surrounding Northern Ireland countryside, we filmed across three days in August, with a small local cast which includes four talented children at the beginning of their acting careers. A private screening for the cast & crew took place in mid-December at Movie House Cinema in Belfast. The film is now currently being finalised ahead of submissions to film festivals.
