Filmmaker to tell tragic story of farmer who faced eviction from highway construction
EAST DOVER—When East Dover filmmaker Sean Kirby first read about Vermont farmer Romaine Tenney, he could not stop thinking about him.
After spending much of his career working as a cinematographer on independent films and documentaries, Kirby is now writing and directing his first feature film, “I Am My Domain.”
