A documentary by a local filmmaker about a rather unusual circus performer also from Donegal is making waves online.
Orson Sterritt and his circus show ‘The Adventures of The Exotic Dr. Proctor’ are a little unusual to say the least.
Unusual enough for Letterkenny filmmaker Ruth Keogh to decide she needed to capture it in detail.
The documentary tells the story of how he Orson came to creating the show and becoming a circus performer, later in life.
He transformed a horse box into a travelling theatre during lockdown.
The documentary aims to capture the heart of the story behind the performer, and how he came to doing what he has such hearty passion for.
It will also feature in this year’s Rathmullan Film Festival, which will run (online again, unfortunately) from the 24th – 27th February this year.
