Oorlagh George has kicked off principal photography on “Stranger With a Camera,” the Oscar-winning producer’s directorial debut. Screen Daily broke the news.

Developed via the Sundance Institute’s Screenwriting and Directing labs, the drama tells the story of a “troubled American teenager stranded in a Northern Irish village after her father is arrested for a 17-year-old murder tied to the IRA. Compelled by her father’s secrecy, she teams up with a delinquent cousin to discover more about their family secrets,” the source hints.

Filming for “Stranger With a Camera” is taking place in Northern Ireland. Ellie Bamber, whose credits include “Les Misérables,” “The Nutcracker and the Four Realms,” and “Pride and Prejudice and Zombies,” is starring.

“This is a story about the power of empathy among young people in Northern Ireland, as they try to make sense of a history shrouded in secrets and transcend the boundaries and burdens they’ve inherited,” George said in a statement.

George penned the script and is among the feature’s producers. She snagged an Oscar for producing “The Shore,” a short about childhood friends in Northern Ireland who reunite as adults 25 years later.

“Northern Ireland is one of the great storytelling cultures in the world. The oral tradition here is so strong it contributed to the length of the Troubles, each side’s narrative was entirely compelling,” George has observed. “Coming of age in the post-peace process world, part of my job is to help tell stories about the magic of that reconnection that are as powerful as the stories which divided us.”
