A short film shot in Schull, West Cork, Ireland.

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. It was singled out by both Jim and Andrzey.

That night me and my co-director resolved to shoot it. We sent a nice letter 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. 

The Daisy Chain also screened on RTÉ Television and Aer Lingus flights.
