Lambing Season is the offbeat tale of Bridget, an American woman who travels to the Irish countryside to track down her long-lost father while posing as a stranger. When things don’t go according to her convoluted plan, Bridget and her father are surprised to learn they have more in common than they imagined. On a sheep farm full of secrets, nature has its way of delivering the truth.

Jeannie Donohoe is an award-winning filmmaker based in Los Angeles. She recently earned her MFA in directing from Columbia University. Jeannie has written and directed several short films, including Lambing Season (currently in festivals) and Public (Palm Springs ShortFest, Outfest, PBS).
