This small but mighty cast and crew behind An Irish Goodbye created a showstopping short film. This is how they did it.
Relationships with our families are messy and complicated. They are the ones who know us the most and know how to push our buttons to a breaking point. Cinema is a great place to explore these complex relationships that have a shared exploration of what it means to care for someone who shares a part of you. Writers/Directors/Producers Tom Berkeley and Ross White highlight this exact point in their Academy Award-nominated short film, An Irish Goodbye.
An Irish Goodbye tells the story of estranged brothers Lorcan (James Martin) and Turlough (Seamus O’Hara) reuniting in rural Northern Ireland after the death of their mother. What comes is a delightful take on a family dramedy that pokes at the beautiful absurdity of the situations the brothers find themselves in while trying to navigate their relationships with themselves and each other.
