We’re delighted to reveal our beautiful new short film, “WildKind”, directed by John McDaid and based on the gorgeous book by producer Ciara Tinney. Voiced in Irish & English by three generations of one family and in Arabic by two generations, WildKind is a poem painted to awaken the senses, a fluid journey of hope and healing across our shared watercolour motherland.
