"Fish and Chips, a meeting of the sea and the land. Fish &Chips signs are all over the place in English towns.
To me, it's like the towns are brimming with simple and beautiful poetry.
One day I wanted to make my own version of Fish & Chips. So in Liverpool, I made a film about a potato swimming to get meet a fish."
