Corkman's documentary on angling is casting out to film festivals worldwide

Ecologist Carl Dixon tells Ellie O’Byrne how an article he wrote for this newspaper inspired him to make a documentary about a female angler that is enchanting audiences in the US and Europe

A BLACKBIRD singing, the swish of a line being cast, the gentle burbling of a river, and the distinctive ‘plop’ of trout feeding; these are the joys of an evening’s fly fishing.

The lush imagery and mellow pace of Unwinding, Corkman Carl Dixon’s microbudget fly-fishing film, are winning over selection panels at international film festivals.
