Oorlagh George set sail on her directorial debut earlier this year in Northern Ireland on Stranger With A Camera – a project that was supported by both the Sundance Institute’s Screenwriting and Directing Labs in the same year as popular Park City items Patti Cake$ and Swiss Army Man. Starring Ellie Bamber, Owen McDonnell, Michael Shea and Brian Milligan, this IRA drama is about trauma, something we find in her father’s cinema. Oh and worth point out, she produced the Oscar winning short, The Shore. UPDATE: This film is not ready and was not submitted.
Gist: The story centers around a troubled American teenager stranded in a Northern Irish village after her father is arrested for a 17-year-old murder tied to the IRA. Compelled by her father’s secrecy, she teams up with a delinquent cousin to pry their family secrets from the cold dead hands of the past.
Production Co./Producers: Molly Egan, John Wallace.
Prediction: WORLD CINEMA DRAMATIC COMPETITION.
