Among Strangers

"The Cailleach was dependent on this one thing... every hundred years she must get back to the water and immerse herself so that she might become young again." This film is an interpretation of fragments of the ancient myth of the "cailleach", old hag, otherworld female, mother earth, sovereignty queen, or witch. Told using a large scale puppet and actors moving through real landscape.

Folktale from the Loop Head penisula about a trickster fox, narrated by seanachai Marty Keane. Told in drawings made of sand from Rinevilla beach, below Rehy hill, where the story is located.

"Hunting the Hare" is a short film created for singer/songwriter Emma Langford. It has been presented in theatres alongside several short vignettes created between 2022 and 2025. What they have in common is taking a poetic approach to animation and exploring the process of drawing in sand as a kind of excavation, a tracing of thought and memory and a means by which to navigate internal landscapes.

Fragment of folklore invoking the archetype of hunter and hare. A live action journey that follows a surreal dream vision, stretching from the stratosphere to the physical realm and into the internal space of the mind.
