Director's Statement
‘TETHERED’ is a heart-rending short that visualises strands of folklore and family by interweaving live-action, animation, and modern dance. It’s a very personal ode to mythology and to the art of Irish storytelling, as well as an homage to 1980s fantasy cinema - but with a female focus.
