Still pinching myself that I got to direct a Focus Short and work with actors Catherine Byrne and Nick Dunning, absolute pros. How did that happen? Surrounded and supported by a brilliant team of professionals, this production was a great first venture into directing. Look at the credits in our previous post and hire the people listed there. Come see the finished film this Saturday at @galwayfilm. We are thankful to @screenireland for the collaborative and smooth journey, a true pleasure to have worked with them on LINGER.
