Intrigued by the story after reading about it in the Kansas City Star, director/producer Sharon Liese set out to make The Gnomist, a documentary with an initial focus of revealing who was behind the construction of these mysterious houses.
Evolving beyond a “whodonit” story, The Gnomist follows the lives of three isolated suburban women who find themselves in Firefly Forest searching for something: an escape from a disturbing divorce; a respite from a devastating injury; and a connection to “Little Owl,” a beloved child taken too soon.
Everyone was so enthusiastic and quickly became part of The Gnomist team.
The Gnomist is filmed cinematically with sweeping crane shots far above the branches that move fluidly down to the tiny fairy doors at the base of the tree trunks—introducing this hidden trail in Firefly Forest as a character itself.
Liese hopes audiences will see the magical power of kindness after seeing The Gnomist. “As a filmmaker, a story like this doesn't come around often—nonetheless in my own backyard,” said Liese.
Produced by Sharon Liese and Oscar winning producer Cynthia Wade, The Gnomist premiered at the 2015 Tribeca Film Festival in April and will also screen at Hot Docs in Toronto, Boston IFF, Minneapolis and Newport Beach Film Festival and other festivals throughout the year.
