Institute History
Description
Kieran Johnson (James Caan) is a lonely, middle-aged high school teacher in Chicago who has lately become frustrated with his job. By chance he discovers an old photograph that sends him on a quest back to Ireland, to the town where his mother was born, to unearth his family’s emotional and conflicted history. First-time director Paul Quinn has crafted a moving love story that sets out to free its characters from the oppressive secrets of their past. Set mostly in Ireland, the film is blessed with the talents of veteran actor James Caan, the intense Aidan Quinn, Stephen Rea, and the promising new Irish actress, Moya Farrelly.

While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
