ALL THE LIGHT WITHIN US
"After a daring escape from her traitorous husband, Ann Fitzpatrick, an 18th-century privateer finds herself shipwrecked on a desolate island where the lines between reality and folklore blur. As she and a woman, Charlotte Berry, living as a man are hunted by a Spanish Marquesa who deals in the macabre, they must unlock the secrets of a decades-old murder and a stolen Selkie skin to survive. It is a gothic, queer seafaring epic about the parts of ourselves we shed to stay alive."
The story is a mystical odyssey about the plight of women, queer folk and people of color making their way in a harsh and unequal world. Set at the intersection of the mystical natural world and the masculine dominated past, it explores a world in which identity, self-reflection, mysticism and the sacred earth mingles with empathy, humor and compassion to create enduring love.
"Charlotte has lived twenty years as a man to survive the high seas, but she is haunted by a single encounter with a Selkie on an Irish beach. When she is shipwrecked with a rebellious privateer’s wife, her past returns in the form of a vengeful Marquesa and a mythic lover who claims to be her 'true skin.' Against a backdrop of naval warfare and winter survival, three women from different worlds unite to break a cycle of violence that has followed them from Galway to the North Atlantic." Based on our vertical Microdrama "The Privateers".
A dark odyssey about the trials and tribulations of women making their way in a
man’s world utilizing the power of intuition and self identity to accomplish their desires.
