Shot in Ireland and starring the tremendous Elaine Cassidy and Stephen Lord, this was made as part of a film-making course.

As a director, your work is often about fending off ordinariness. Elaine and Stephen made a small, low-to-no-budget effort feel very special.

Trivia: the butchery scene was filmed in a room of what used to be Letterfrack Industrial School, one of the most notorious church-run institutions for children in Ireland.
