A masterclass in bringing the bestselling novel The Essex Serpent to the screen. The land and seascape where the story is set, is raw, elemental, and a character of the story. It was important to capture this fragile world on film, atmospheric, bleak but ever shifting beautiful estuary saltmarsh in all its tidal glory and show how strangely bewitching the hinterland was for Cora. Shooting beyond the seawall certainly was not easy, but a careful collaboration between the location team, and the Marine Dept made it possible to achieve the creative vision, shooting for more than 2 months around the estuaries of Essex, while keeping the crew safe.
