Details about Breathe:
Quite often reality proves to be more dramatic than fiction. A combination of drama and fiction, BREATHE! fuses real-life images of nature-shot in high definition by award-winning cinematography Tom Campbell. Loosely based on Campbell's own experience, BREATHE! is a high-adventure, high suspense film on the high sea, starring the director's own son Mick (who also wrote the screenplay), Cassidy Freeman (Finishing the Game), and Tim Abell (We Were Soldiers). A pioneer of the Hi-Def movement, Campbell heightens the drama with incredible underwater shots of breaching Great White Sharks in South Africa.

For Murray, an actor with nearly 100 on-camera credits to his name, BREATHE! represents only his fourth trip behind the lens.
