History and Contact Info

Sea Shanty Productions is David Brigham, Matt Long, and David Wilmington.

We completed our first film, a short satire of 1950's educational filmstrips entitled "The Wing Nut and You!", in January of 2004.

     In July of 2004, WUNC-TV (the North Carolina PBS station) selected "Wing Nut" for its "NC Visions" program. The film first aired on WUNC in October of 2004 along with 3 other short, comic films. Time Warner Cable's "Second Cinema" program chose"Wing Nut" for statewide broadcast in May of 2004 and has aired it numerous times since (including a featured place on the program's anniversary special during the summer of 2005). "Wing Nut" also won the Audience Choice Award at the 2004 WARP festival in Durham.

     Our second film, "X-GEN" is a feature-length dark comedy about the destruction of Generation X. We began pre-production in March of 2004 and will finish post-production in February of 2006. While submitting "X-GEN" to festivals across the U.S., Sea Shanty Films will hold a few screenings in theatres in Durham and Chapel Hill, NC during the spring of '06.
