A brand new film directed by a woman from County Kildare is making its way to the streaming platform Netflix.
The Deepest Breath, which is written and directed by Laura McGann, is a co-production between Jamie D’Alton and Anne McLoughlin of Motive Films and John Battsek and Sarah Thomson of Ventureland.
Set in the world of ocean diving, the film follows Italian freediver Alessia Zecchini on her quest to break a world record in freediving, a dangerous extreme sport in which competitors attempt to reach the greatest depth without the use of scuba gear.
Freedivers are often subject to blackouts upon ascent, necessitating the help of safety divers like Stephen Keenan, a free-spirited Irish adventurer who fell in love with the sport in Dahab, Egypt.
The Deepest Breath launches globally on Netflix on July 19, 2023, and it will also have a limited theatrical release in Ireland from July 14, 2023.
A trailer of the film can be viewed below.
