WHERE IT ALL BEGAN

Jill and Emily can officially say it all began in a small little hotel pub in Ireland. The two of them had known each other for some time but creatively began dreaming over dinner in Belfast. Jill’s love of researching stories of heroic historical characters, coupled with Emily’s obsession with researching to build a character and performance — found a home in their first joint project. This common vision and passion is what officially launched

North Rose Pictures.
