The Life and Loves of a Sea Devil
Nineteen-year-old Rob Hunt loves the sea. At least he loves surfingand swimming and soaking up the rays.
What he doesn't like, as becomes clear in this film he made himself, is deep-sea fishing. And that is what he does for a living to pay off a debt of National Insurance contributions.
Rob shot his film overtwo years and it captures the monotony of the fishing trips, the frustrations of enforced fishingquotas and the fight to beat Spanish and French boats to a decreasingfish stock.
However, at the core of the film is his feeling of being trapped in this way of life. Eventually he has to find a way to pay off his debt and sort out his life - with a surprising result. If you would like to make a video diary, write to:[address removed]
