Hegoledh is a 2025, part English, part Cornish language short film[1] written and directed by Guy Potter. The film is currently funding via Crowdfunder[2] and is the follow up to Trengellick Rising.

Synopsis

[edit]

Cornish for 'superstition', tempers fray in Hegoledh as bad omens run rife and a shortage of fish befalls a remote fishing village in Cornwall. A stranger arrives to help, but *something* is stopping the fish from biting, and no one knows why.[3]

Production

[edit]

Development

[edit]

Development of the film began in late 2024, with Guy Potter writing the script as part of an MA course whilst studying at Falmouth Univeristy.[4] Intending to expand on the success of Trengellick Rising, it was decided that Hegoledh should also be shot on 16mm Kodak film, though this time, in colour[5].

In September 2024 it was decided that the film be commissioned separately from just educational study, and was moved into pre-production by High Sierra Films[1]. The fundraising page was launched on Crowdfunder in mid-November, 2024.[2]

Filming

[edit]

Filming is due to begin in late winter/Spring 2025, with principal photography taking place on the Helford River in Cornwall.
