The screening will be followed by a live Q&A with the film's stars Hermione Corfield (Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation), Connie Nielsen (Wonder Woman 1984, Gladiator) and BAFTA award-winning director Neasa Hardiman (Happy Valley, Jessica Jones).

The producers' press release stated:
The event will kick-off SEA FEVER's On Demand and Digital release on April 10th.
This virtual communal experience is the first-of-its-kind – giving audiences the chance to interact with each other and the film's stars in the comfort of their own homes. SEA FEVER initially had a nationwide theatrical plan in partnership with Alamo Drafthouse and Fantastic Fest. However, with the recent closure of theaters throughout the country due to the growing Coronavirus pandemic, Gunpowder & Sky pivoted from its original theatrical plans, and is bringing the communal theatrical viewing experience to audiences at home.
"Like everyone else, we are adjusting to life's new challenges on a daily basis and feel Sea Fever is more relevant than ever," said Janet Brown, EVP of Acquisitions and Global Distribution for Gunpowder & Sky. "We are psyched to host the first-ever live experience of a film screening, and can't wait to share it with audiences!"
