Plein Air

PLEIN AIR is a personal short film shot in Wales. It’s a simple, visual story about a man who ventures across the stunning Snowdonian landscape to share a warm moment with his artist mother.

‘En plein air’ is a French expression that artists use to describe painting in the outdoors, immersing themselves directly in the landscape. So while our title may be en francais, it perfectly speaks to the essence of the piece.

It was truly a family affair. My brother and his wife wrote the story, my mum stars as the painter, and my partner Joe composed and performed the musical score that captures the otherworldly quality of Snowdonia. Our pooch Rosie also makes her on screen debut.
