Filmed over the course of a whirlwind week of traveling across Ireland, this film peers into the off-the-field lives of Gaelic athletes to help fans understand what these amateur players balance on a daily basis and how the Gaelic Players Association helps them find a healthy equilibrium.
This project was a dream to work on. The push to capture so much content across the country in a short amount of time proved physically and mentally exhausting, but because of the unwavering hard work of our nimble team, the bonds formed and resulting film are incredibly worthwhile.
