Attendees of a masterclass with Jim Sheridan and Andrzej Bartkowiak were asked to submit a short script that could be shot easily. I wrote a script about flowers, and it was singled out by both Jim and Andrzej. That night my co-director and I resolved to shoot it.
We sent a nice letter and a Beckett first edition to Fiona Shaw, and a year later we had The Daisy Chain. I like the rhythm of the language against the gorgeous visuals of West Cork.
