Director Statement

I wanted to make a film set in Glenarm, N. Ireland, a part of the world I love and know well where I spent a lot of my childhood. I am interested in coming of age tales from a female perspective and thought Ruth would make a great subject as someone on the verge of adult life. The sheep fashion show felt like a good focus to pull these themes together.
