<p>‘Of Kernow’ spotlights the double lives of three surfers in the South West of England, as they search for balance in their relationship with the sea and their responsibilities as full-time workers. Kieran’s cinematography captures the rugged beauty of Cornwall’s coastlines, alongside the mundanity of day-to-day life in local manufacturing. From nostalgic relationships with the seaside as a child through to adult escapism - each interview shares a personal perspective on surfing’s enduring value to coastal communities.</p>
