This film began with a different title, Burren Girl, in 2015. The film changed focus and was renamed Stories I Didn’t Know in the fall of 2019. Film North has been our fiscal sponsor through concept, production and post-production.
Burren Girl has been released in 2020 as a separate film about the Ireland part of this family history story.
Without the backing, support, education and networking provided by Film North, this film would not have happened. Many thanks to this extremely effective organization that backs filmmakers to make films.
