"At the end of the War of Spanish Succession in 1713, the captain of a privateering vessel faces a difficult confrontation with his disgruntled crew." A historical action short film written and directed by Liam J. M. Wilson.

I have always been greatly interested the golden age of piracy and was very excited to make something set in that period of history. While this is not directly a 'pirate' film, the history detailing how privateers and merchant sailors turned pirate after the end of the war really interested me so I set out to make this short.

​

This film was written shortly after I filmed 'Warlock', I was inspired to do more sword combat, however the project was a little bit too ambituous for me to be able to achieve at that time. Five years later, I returned to that script with Harry Phipps producing it, making it now feel much more achievable! Starring Dean Michael-Gregory, James Bryan & Joshua Chadwick, this film was shot in June of 2024. We had such a fantastic, if gruelling, tiring and hot weekend bringing this idea to life.

I am now hard at work in post-production on this short, there are a lot of VFX for me to get through so it's taking me a while. There is currently no exact estimate for when the film will be finished and released, but I'm hoping for it to be mid to late 2025.
