Have you anything else on the horizon?

I am directing a short film with the artist Adrian Duncan in the Arctic circle at the start of March – this will screen at EVA international in Limerick this April. My next feature length documentary (also with Adrian Duncan) is set to go into production in Paris this summer.

Finally, will you get to see anything else at the festival? Anything you are looking forward to in particular?

I’m very much looking forward to seeing Sinead O’Shea’s A Mother Brings Her Son To Be Shot. I can only imagine how difficult that film was to make and finish; it’s such a reflection on her amazing ability that she pulled it off.

The Lonely Battle of Thomas Reid premiere at ADIFF on Sat 24th February.
