    Hireth by Seth Hughes

    Hireth is a short film by award winning Director Seth Hughes exploring the deep but often lost connection we have to home and our homeshores.

    Filmed on the Outer Hebrides in the Scottish Isles, Finisterre Ambassador, Mike Lay and Isalnder, Colin MacLeod exchange waves and reconnect with the land and waters that have shaped their lives so far.

    Set against the backdrop of the Atlantic Ocean, where the raw, uninterrupted swells meet the rugged beauty of the Scottish coastline, Seth Hughes beautifully weaves together breathtaking cinematography, landscape, surf and soundtrack to capture the profound link between people and place.

    English File (Oxford University Press) Remote collaboration with Creative Listening, UK

    This project involved a series of seventeen 20-minute romantic comedy-style films, developed as part of Oxford University Press’s renowned English File curriculum. Designed for English language learners, the films blend engaging narratives with carefully crafted dialogue to aid in comprehension and learning.

    As the sound designer, my role was to shape the entire sonic landscape—balancing the demands of broadcast-quality production with the unique requirement for heightened clarity in dialogue. Every creative decision served two goals: supporting the story and ensuring that the spoken word remained crystal clear for learners of all levels. I worked closely with the UK-based production team to meet tight turnaround times and deliver consistent, immersive audio across the full series.

    Ceibo Surf Film

    Ceibo follows surfers Pacha Light and Lucy Small who journey across Ecuador to learn from women how we can better coexist with our planet. From the land rights struggles of the Andes and the Amazon, to an Olympic surfer who has carved out a path for women, to the fight to protect the waters of the Galapagos Islands, Ceibo explores some of the most important struggles of our time. Along the way, Pacha untangles her own evolving identity as she reconnects with her Ecuadorian roots and embraces what it means to be Ecuadorian.

    Ceibo is filmed and edited by Maddie Meddings, produced by Lucy Small and co-produced by Pacha Luque Light.
