Director Statement

This story is dedicated to my Grandfather. When I was a child, Granda Kevin told me all sorts of ghost stories, with his favourite being about a banshee that appeared to our family in Annalong, near the Mourne Mountains. The tale stuck with me, and I wanted to record it in some way, which is where this short came from. He passed away just before I got to show him the film, but he was very excited that I was basing a story on him.
