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.
