Song of the Sea
A grieving Irish boy must guide his mute selkie sister back to the sea before a vengeful goddess awakens ancient fae forces that threaten both their world and theirs.
“Let the song of the sea sway your heart...”
Synopsis
The story follows the journey of the last Seal Child returning home. After their mother vanishes, Ben and Saoirse are sent to live with their grandmother in the city. Determined to return to their coastal home, they embark on a journey that becomes a race against time, drawing them into a world Ben only knows from his mother’s folktales. However, this is no ordinary bedtime story; the fairy folk have been in the human world for far too long. As events unfold, it becomes clear to Ben that Saoirse holds the key to their survival.

How many hands made this film
The scale of the collaboration
Principal cast & crew: 19
These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.
Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
