Brennan 'I met Erna in February of this year and instantly felt welcome aboard her little rolling home with Henry, Floki and Daisy. I was fascinated by her mindset and way of life, a true independent woman living on her own terms. I have always loved the idea of living on the road, so Erna's story has inspired me in a number of ways. She is a warm soul and a joy to be around, so I had to make a film about her. The film was shot over one day on an icy winter day. It was initially going to be filmed as part of a university project with a full crew. But due to some unforeseen circumstances I Directed, Shot and Edited the film independently, and released it as my own.'
