The film, which was produced by A24, Motive Films, Ventureland and Raw, will have its world premiere at the 2023 Sundance Film Festival
Netflix has collaborated with A24, Motive Films, Ventureland and Raw on this gripping look at the undeniable connection forged between two athletes as they navigate the vigorous and competitive world of freediving. The Deepest Breath will have its world premiere at the Sundance Film Festival in January 2023.
Logline: A champion freediver trains to break a world record with the help of an expert safety diver, and the two form an emotional bond that feels like fate. This heart-stopping film follows the paths they took to meet at the pinnacle of the freediving world, documenting the thrilling rewards - and inescapable risks - of chasing a dream through the silent depths of the ocean.
Directed by Laura McGann. Laura is a documentary filmmaker from Ireland. She started making films and producing theater when she was 15 years old and went on to study film in Ballyfermot, Dublin before getting her masters at Hope University, Liverpool. She has worked in Ireland and abroad shooting and directing numerous documentary projects for RTE, SKY, PBS, BBC, Lonely Planet and UTV.
Quote from Director Laura McGann: The setting and emotional power of this story is what initially drew me into wanting to make this documentary. Filming around the world and with the remarkable subjects at the heart of The Deepest Breath has been the most inspirational and rewarding experience of my career. The entire team is delighted to be partnering with Netflix to share what we believe is a fitting tribute to the exceptional world of freediving and the fearless athletes in our film.
