Director Biography - Joseph Butler
Passionate, enthusiastic filmmaker based in Kildare. In recent years, I've worked mainly as an editor, vfx and camera. 'The Land' is my first short film where I wrote, edited and directed. 'The Land' is supported by the Kildare County Council arts grant.
Director Statement
I have a passion for genre films and when the producers of ‘The Land’ got in touch about the play, I was immediately drawn to the screen version potential. The grant from Kildare County Council helped me get the project from script to screen. Along with the grant, we were very lucky with the resourcefulness of the team in elevating the production value beyond expectations. Now, we look forward to sharing our film on the festival circuit.
