Wish I Were There is a poetic ode to the flawed but compelling English seaside, where childhood memories of endless days of play are nostalgically rekindled if you look beyond the noise and take in the beauty of where sea meets land.

Neil Baker’s deeply personal film about his evolving connection with the Yorkshire coast was nominated for a British Animation Award in 2024, and has screened in animation and short film festivals internationally since its completion in 2023.

Film to be released online July 2025.
