Glasgow

Hana Morrow is a documentary filmmaker based in Glasgow. Her short films follow people at work at the edges of the day, shellfish pickers, bus drivers, night cleaners, and are usually shot across a single season. Low Tide at Six, her first medium-length documentary, was filmed over eleven months on a tidal estuary in the north of Scotland with a crew of two.
