Octopus Invasion! The film explores the sudden rise in octopus numbers in southwest England through a series of interconnected perspectives. Guided by an overarching narration, the camera moves fluidly between research spaces, fishing communities, kitchens and coastal waters, introducing each character as part of a wider story about adaptation and change. Blending documentary footage with stylised visual sequences, the film balances humour, energy and clarity while remaining grounded in newly released scientific research and community-led data. Rather than presenting simple answers, the story invites audiences to reconsider assumptions about marine life, industry and environmental change - showing how shifts beneath the surface ripple outward, affecting ecosystems and people alike.
