Helen Woolston and John Quirk

met while studying animation at the Estonian Academy of Arts in Tallinn. Fiadh à Fireach is their first co-directed animated film. It was so much fun to work as a team that they hope to do it again. They created Studio Kompost in order to keep collaborating with other artists on projects and workshops which bring together creativity, nature and community.
