Adrian has previously worked with Éamon Little on two feature documentaries: the IFTA-nominated Red Mist, a creative exploration of Ireland’s most infamous soccer bust-up in Saipan in 2002, described by the Evening Herald as “a brilliant film… evocative, poignant, and often very, very funny… a must-see, beg, borrow, or steal a copy”; and Living Colour, which explores an artists’ collective that focuses on the artists’ abilities rather than their special needs. Film Ireland praised it as “a wonderful documentary… an uplifting and enlightening piece of cinema.” Both projects were supported by the Irish Film Board/Screen Ireland.

Adrain McCarthy
“In 2011, I worked with Éamon on Living Colour - my introduction to the Camphill world, where I first met Patrickand Gladys Lydon, pioneers of the unique studio in that film. Two fascinating individuals who left a mark.
Tenyears later Éamon called again. Patrick now was gravely ill and would I help make a film about his life and work?
The resulting film, I believe, tells a story our fractured world needs to hear right now.”
