Butterfly - FOCUS Short coming soon!

Butterfly is a road movie about rage, reckoning and two women pushed past their limits.

Former elite swimmers Frankie and Grá once had Olympic dreams until the coach who was meant to guide them shattered their trust and changed the course of their lives. Now in their thirties, Grá teaches kids to swim while Frankie is drowning in the past.

When their abuser receives a shockingly light sentence, Frankie snaps; kidnapping the judge who handed it down and taking off in her Toyota Corolla Saloon. The plan? There isn’t one. With nowhere else to turn, she crashes back into Grá’s life, pulling her old friend into a spiralling, reckless detour neither of them saw coming.

An Crann - Award Winning Short

A married couple in Donegal contemplate revenge after a mysterious new neighbour fells their tree. 

 

In 2014, New York based writer/director Emma Carlson embarked on an ambitious short film project, destined to be shot on location in Donegal, Ireland and with the majority of the dialogue in Irish. A successful Kickstarter campaign not only yielded the balance of the budget but also caught the attention of the two women who became the Irish production team. 


Together they assembled the rest of the Irish crew, secured a stellar Gaelic-tongued cast, and found the perfect location and facilities in the middle of breathtaking Donegal. Excavators, tree surgeons and an intense week of shooting later “An Crann” was in the can. 


Based on the poem of the same name by Núala Ní Dhomhnaill, “An Crann” went on to be a festival success.

Undersong is set in the 70s. The film is about Colm, an Irish immigrant to Scotland who works as a tour boat guide on Loch Ness. He has a deep, religious devotion to the Loch Ness monster, and has been attempting to summon it for the last thirty years. One summer, Colm’s boss assigns him a young apprentice to whom the loch begins responding. It dawns on Colm that the monster may have 'chosen' someone else.
