Joseph Curran & Dominic Aubrey de Vere met whilst working at an independent cinema, where they quickly bonded over their shared passion for storytelling. After getting their hands on a camera, they soon found themselves on a long-haul cargo ship sailing towards Saint Helena, one of the world’s most remote islands, to document the opening of the island’s first airport; instead, they stumbled on another, far more important story. More than eight years in the making, A STORY OF BONES marks the directing duo's first feature-length documentary. In 2019, the project was selected for Good Pitch NYC, and it is supported by the BFI Doc Society Fund, awarding National Lottery funding, BBC Storyville and Archer's Mark. The film had its world premiere at the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival in competition.
