With awards’ season well and truly underway, we’re yet again introduced to an array of mainstream and independent works deserving of acknowledgement for the effort put in both onscreen and behind the scenes. Marking Floodlight Pictures – Ross White and Tom Berkeley’s second collaboration (the first, Roy, seeing them make the shortlist of the 75th BAFTA Awards), An Irish Goodbye sees them contend for a spot on the final nominee list of the 95th Academy Awards, due to take place on Sunday 12th March, with the final shortlist drawn up on Tuesday 24th January. Ahead of the final nominee announcement, Ross and Tom tell us more about their heartwarming film – an exploration of estranged brothers Lorcan and Turlough who are forced to reunite following the death of their mother. Lorcan, who has Down Syndrome is left in Turlough’s care, but will only agree to leave the family farm once they have completed every single wish on their mother’s unfulfilled bucket list.
