What was your introduction to film?
Looking back I wasn’t a huge movie fan but I was very interested in writing and theatre, strangely interested in musicals too. Most filmmakers have these stories about sneaking out to the movies and having their world opened up by cinema but the reality of it for me was I went to Trinity to study English and Sociology and the film society there decided to make a film and I got involved and that’s where my love for it all began.
I made a film after college based on a Beckett screenplay and that was in a time where there was only three or four short films known to the public, now there’s three or four thousand. Back then if someone made a short film it was almost a national event. The first proper short I made actually opened in Cork on the opening night of the festival, so I have a history with this wonderful film festival.
