Delores

"What goes on at sea, stays at sea" mutters the ship's cook in Adam Stevens' offbeat tale, which was nominated for Best Short at the Berlin Film Festival. A commercial fishing trip takes a fantastic turn when the crew net an unusual creature (Cherie James). Stevens mixes 'interviews' with straight narrative, to create a "real account of a fictitious event through the eyes of the crew and their immediate family members". Sensitive crewman Nigel (a cherubic Jeremy Randerson) strives to protect Delores as his hardened co-workers wrestle with ideas of cashing in, killing or releasing their incredible catch.

Money in the bank, that's what she was, money in the bank...
