IN NEED OF SEAWATER | COMING JANUARY 2026

Directed by Richard Yeagley, In Need of Seawater begins a trilogy of documentary short films produced and written by Mark Anthony Thomas. Positioned as “the past,” the film reflects on the twenty years since The Poetic Repercussion, tracing how those poems shaped his voice and followed him through journalism, public service, and creative work. It looks back at the origins of a writer finding clarity in language, and how those early pieces continue to resonate today.
