Born of Hope is a 2009 fantasy-adventure fan film directed by Kate Madison and written by Paula DiSante (as Alex K. Aldridge) that is based on the appendices of J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings. The film centres on the communities affected by Sauron's war;[2] the story of Arathorn II and his relationship with Gilraen, and the importance of the Dúnedain bloodline. The bulk of the film was shot at the West Stow Anglo-Saxon Village in Suffolk. Forest scenes were shot in Epping Forest,[3] and flyover shots include views of Snowdonia National Park and Derwentwater.
