Cornwall is variously referred to as a duchy, region, sub-region, county3, as a perpetual destination. This is an outsider view of ‘other’ that attracts visitors in their droves, a place-myth based upon ‘picturesque romanticization’ (Moseley 2018, p.110) conjured by a hundred unhindered years of romantic travelogue, period drama location and seasonal tourism journalism. Often Cornish production is seen through the prism of its history or its landscape as backdrop. Some local producers indicated that there was place for modern storytelling and for connecting with other Celtic cultures, such as Wales or Brittany. Cornwall has been granted minority status within the UK but it remains an open question as to whether there is a market for such filmed Cornish storytelling both within and without CIOS4 (Saffery Champness 2018, p.55).
