Why this film?
Teeth is not a story about teeth, ghosts nor fossils. It is a message about the danger of loneliness, depression and social isolation that lingers in all of us that feeds the spiritual world.
Inspired by a true story
After reading a BBC News article about a women who found a fossil of teeth on her Boxing Day walk on Holy Island, Northumberland, Catarina was inspired to write 'Teeth'.
While the film is inspired by actual events and persons, all characters, incidents, locations, dialogue, and names are fictionalized for the purposes of dramatization.
