Ghostly new tale from Eastbourne film-maker

Seb, by day a physics teacher at Hailsham Community College, is delighted to get Tide of Ghosts (27 mins) (13+) out there on Amazon Prime.

Already it is picking up plenty of positive reviews through the streaming service.

In the piece, Andrew finds his best mate George reappearing to him as a ghost with unfinished business. Together they must find George’s body to uncover the mystery behind his death, helping him move to the afterlife.

Seb wrote the film with John Black. John appears in the film with Benjamin David Taylor.

“It’s pretty amazing to be on Amazon Prime.

“There is a company called Film Hub which is pretty new that takes in films and puts them on the marketplace for distributors to look at, and it got picked up.”

The film was shot in Eastbourne and Horsham in 2017-18 while Seb was studying for his PGCE in physics.

“We made the film for a total budget of £300, and we have some pretty creative approaches to how we got the shots underwater.

“I co-wrote it with John, and the usual way we work is that I come up with the premise and the outline for each scene, and then John adds this beautiful dialogue. He has got a great way of coming up with really flavourful dialogue.
