In Dublin, Ireland's capital, there is a historical 18th-century farmhouse located in the expansive Cabinteely Park, which is rarely open to visitors. However, recently, the doors of this house have been opened for a group of student filmmakers united by emerging director Kate Prokopčenko, a Latvian who has been living in Ireland since she was three years old. Prokopčenko is set to graduate this year from a film-making program at the Institute of Art, Design, and Technology in Dun Laoghaire, and she acknowledges that her journey toward this profession began in her childhood.

In an interview, Kate reflects on her early love for making videos, stating that from a young age, she enjoyed filming various clips, even using her mother's button phone to capture moments. She often collaborated with her younger niece Kristiāna as her actress while taking on the role of the director behind the camera. Despite being shy in school while growing up, she eventually realized her passion for filmmaking, prompting her to pursue it as a career.

The narrative highlights not only Kate Prokopčenko's individual journey but also the cultural intersection between her Latvian roots and her experiences in Ireland. By working on this student film, she not only hones her craft but also contributes to the rich tapestry of independent cinema in Ireland, illustrating how immigrant experiences can influence creative expressions and storytelling.
