II. SYNOPSIS
Boundless Seams is a portrait of New York-based designer and embroidery specialist Laura Weber, the first independent designer to create uniforms for Ireland's Olympians, showcased at the 2024 Paris Games. Told from the perspective of her sister, the film follows Laura as she works to bring a historic commission to life. This project coincides with the centennial anniversary of Ireland’s debut as a Free State in the Olympic Games, also held in Paris in 1924. 

Beyond the historic context, we see the daily rhythms and relationships that sustain a life’s work across different careers. The film traces the intersection of seemingly distinct fields of embroidery and sports, united by movement, dedication, and care. The film seamlessly blends the worlds of embroidery and sport through expressive filmmaking and sonic composition.

IV. DIRECTOR’S NOTE
“For the past ten years, Laura and I have lived in different countries, working separately on our practices. This project has brought us and our work together for the first time, allowing us to really see each other and how we work.

To me, Laura embodies the word 'care'; she has always supported the people around her and problem-solved with me halfway across the world. This work has allowed me to return some of this support and push her forward during many months of strain to get this project across the line.

The film looks at the meticulous world of embroidery within an industry defined by pace and perfection. Through close, tactile observations, the film focuses on the physical and emotional labour behind sport, fashion, and filmmaking.

Moments of siblinghood emerge throughout as we support one another through demanding projects. The film reflects on what it takes to complete work that is both personal and significant.”

V. SUPPORT

We are supported by Ebow Digital, the Centre Culturel Irlandais, Tipperary Museum of Hidden History, the Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media, and the Arts Council of Ireland.

We extend our sincere gratitude to everyone who has supported the project so far. Each contribution has been vital in bringing us to our last stage of the project. 

We are currently seeking sponsorship to complete our post-production phase and are offering titled credits and sponsorship marketing opportunities.
