RTE STORYLAND
A Deal's a Deal.
In conjunction with RTE and Northern Ireland Screen, we were delighted to produce ‘A Deal’s A Deal’ for 2019’s Storyland.
Director of Photography, Alasdair McBroom
Written by Francis and Geraldine Scullion, directed by Mick Gordon and produced by Pearce Cullen, ‘A Deal’s A Deal’ tells the story of a misguided and disgruntled teenage pigeon fancier reacts badly to the death of her champion young bird.
“When I was asked to read for Dani, I was struck by the character’s emotional vulnerability. She is so influenced by those she looks up to, and that almost naive quality is something I found really endearing. But her level of passion also has an edge to it, which was really interesting to play with.”
“The shoot was a bit of a whirlwind, moments of calm followed quickly by ‘all systems go!’. But there was a warmth from all the team that made the experience a really enjoyable one. Filming in such lovely areas really helped as well. I really enjoyed getting to know everyone and observing how they worked, and figuring out my own process as well.”
“The cast were all such a pleasure to work with. Patrick is a really dedicated and driven actor and so we really enjoyed playing with the dynamics of our scenes. When I got to watch the rest of the cast work I began to pick up on little routines and rituals that helped them prepare, and they were all so open and kind. I really look up to them all as performers so getting to chat with them and see them work was a privilege.”
