Frank and the Bell follows veteran wreck diver Frank Benoit as he recounts a daring 1990s dive to recover a historic World War II artifact. Through his personal journey, this documentary explores the extreme challenges of deep-sea exploration and the evolving ethics of maritime preservation. Frank and the Bell examines the shifting perspectives on artifact recovery regulation and the delicate balance between adventure and responsibility. Ultimately, the film highlights how history—once hidden in the depths—can shape the present, if we choose to remember it.
The project arrived as an AAF export, containing both dialogue and some underwater sounds captured directly from the original dive footage. To amplify and modernise the underwater action, additional sound design elements were integrated. Furthermore, detailed Foley recordings were incorporated throughout the film, adding nuanced texture to every visible key object and action.
