Bait is a 2019 British drama film written, directed, shot, edited, and scored by Mark Jenkin. It stars Edward Rowe as a struggling fisherman in a Cornish fishing village, and deals with rising tensions between the locals and tourists. Set against a backdrop of second homes, short-term lets, and gentrification, it has been interpreted as a critique of precarity.
