Colm Daly, a 70yr old hardy Irish swimming veteran opens up about his life’s experience and passion for the open water.

An intensely personal piece, but packaged for the viewer in a way that is both accessible and more importantly; frank and honest.

Our Irish short film, shot on Loch Rí in Lanesborough-Ballyleague, recently won screenings in both London’s Pinewood Studios (Nov 2021) and Hollywood’s Raleigh Studios Los Angeles (Sept 2022).
