Feature | In Development

Historical | Drama | Supernatural | Dark | Gaelic Language

On a Spring day in 1819, a quiet village in the Scottish Highlands is violently swept from the face of the earth; setting one young girl on a long & fraught journey to reclaim the life she lost.

Synopsis

In a single day, 10 year old Ùna Gunn loses her mother, home, and ancestral lands. 

In the years that follow, greed, corruption, and hysteria consume those who seek to strip Ùna and her community further from their lands, awakening dark and mysterious forces - all threatening to destroy forever the only way of life Ùna has ever known.

CROFTERS is a haunting tale on both the power and curses that come from our family and lineage, as well as a creative response to the injustices of the Highland Clearances - the environmental, cultural and social impacts of which are still felt today.
