Production has wrapped on "The Body is Water," the anticipated new feature film by Irish filmmaker Vicky Wight. This project marks the final on-screen performance for the acclaimed actor Isiah Whitlock Jr. The film's ensemble cast also includes Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Stephen Rea, and Aidan Quinn, among others.
The narrative unfolds across two distinct locales: Houston, Texas, and the picturesque, rugged coastline of West Cork, Ireland. It centers on a man consumed by grief who seeks solitude in a secluded Irish village, only to discover that escaping his past is not an option in this particular town.
Directed by Wight, who also produced the film, "The Body is Water" is currently in post-production. Wight also recently completed a short documentary titled "Zina," executive-produced by Serena Williams, which is set to premiere in April 2026.
