A RTS Ireland winning stop motion short film made with Cardel Entertainment for RTÉ.​

 

Dagda’s Harp is a stop motion short about the legend of Dagda’s enchanting harp. Conor tells the story of Dagda to his sister Ciara, and friend Noah, as they sit around a bonfire on their estate. Awakened by this, Dagda appears to the group of children and plays his harp, but the result of his spellbinding music isn’t quite as scary as they thought.
