I've had three novels published, and I was working a little bit in theater in Ireland. I wrote one film script just to see what it would turn out like.
“My father died when I was 4 years old, so I can't really say anything about his hearing.”
“But short films are not inferior, just different. I think the short gives a freedom to film-makers. What's appealing is that you don't have as much responsibility for storytelling and plot. They can be more like a portrait, or a poem.”
