Born from a desire to create together in spite of circumstance, 11 international filmmakers collaborated virtually to build a statement of fear, persistence and hope. “We Shall Not Return” makes a case for a better tomorrow, one that works for all of humanity, not just the few. The film started out as a singular, deeply personal exploration of fear for our collective future, and a reaction to the idea of ‘returning to normal’. It became a testament to the will of creativity. A beautiful collaboration between a group of filmmakers across Canada and the UK, executed whilst working remotely, in isolation and observing regional lockdown rules during Covid-19. We shall not return, we shall only move forwards. — Written, Directed & Edited by Stuart Langfield Cinematographers: Alfonso Chin Bryce Zimmerman Bryn McCashin Byron Kopman Devin Karringten Gavin White Jan Klompje Jeremy Cox Jon Thomas Mack Calistan Narration - Michael J Rogers Man - Brett Houghton Drowning Man - Nathan Barrett Woman & Child - Lauren & Ilan Klompje Couple - Jourdan Tymkow & Tyler Adam Floating Woman - Georgia Bradner Colour - Sam Gilling Score - Luke Atencio & Makeup And Vanity Set Sound Mix - Julio Esteban Ramirez Editorial Consultant - Jen Mackie Steadicam - Scott Nuttal Gaffer - Perry Miotto Special Thanks - Kaayla Whachell, Brandon Lee, Dane Armour, Caleb Ford, Audra Coton, Perry Miotto, Jordan Findlay, Yorke Graham, Dallas Sauer, Jen Mackie, Aaron Nathanson, Marc Whitelaw, Brightside Cinema, Raw Camera, Paul Engstrom, Tommy Douglas, Peacemaker Filmworks, Corina Bizim
