VIDEO Behind the scenes on Room - Meet the cast

Room, from the book by Irish author Emma Donoghue, is a unique story told from the perspective of a young boy called Jack who lives alone in the universe save for his mother.

It's a film that comes with many unique challenges when trying to pen an adaptation, with Irish filmmaker Lenny Abrahamson managing to get Donoghue on board to pen the screenplay. And he also has plenty of help from a wonderful cast including Brie Larson, William H Macy and newcomer Jacob Tremblay.

Anyone who has read the book will know that it's going to be a difficult film to really get across on the screen (mostly because its told from such a subjective place) but Abrahamson has proven himself to be one of the finest Irish directors around and we think he's going to hit it out of the park.

Room is premiering at TIFF in September 2015 before arriving in cinemas later in the year.
