anchors
anchors is the story of three friends who discover they share a love of the children's iconic book series 'Swallows and Amazons' by Arthur Ransome, which is filled with tales of sailing, adventure and a joy of the outdoors. A female and non-binary centred story about friendship, adventure and sailing, takes inspiration from these gentle and considered books that have a depth and strength where age and gender appear irrelevant.
the story of anchors is in three part: the stills you see below, an article due for publication soon, and a film that has been selected for Kendal Mountain Film Festival 2024 and London Mountain Film Festival 2025.
