This project originated from a desire to celebrate Irish language and culture. My creative practice often explores themes of the inner child and mortality, both of which became central to the work’s development.
Initially conceived as a pitch for The Big Pitcher 2023, the project evolved significantly. During a residency on Inis Oírr, we expanded our research and deepened our connection to the material, allowing the project to mature into a more layered and resonant piece.
Our biggest goal was to create a project that people would be proud and excited to work on. We’re incredibly grateful for the amazing team who brought their passion and dedication to this project. Every frame of the film is an amalgamation of many people's work and advice.
