Director Matthew Newton talks about Hunters, a film he co-directed alongside filmmakers Matteo Born and Mateo Ybarra about fishermen working off the coast of Newlyn, Cornwall:

"Inspired by stories of a way of life carried down through the generations, Hunters is a film that observes one of the oldest professions—hunting at sea. 

“Spending a week aboard Cornish trawler The Crystal Sea with a varied crew, from fresh to seasoned deckhands, we were able to capture the difficulty of the environment while giving a sense of the claustrophobia of the trawlers’ working lives. 

“Through the relentless swell of the ocean and the constant growl of the boat's engine, the sound of chains clattering while releasing or hauling in nets, we wanted to give a sense of the trawlers' reality, emphasizing the impossibility of escape once there."
