Conor Barry and Brendan Muldowney are a pair fit for the screen

A suicidal man forms an unlikely bond with a grieving young mother in a new Irish film, says Don O’Mahony.

PRODUCER Conor Barry and director Brendan Muldowney are one of the most fruitful and fearless teams in Irish film. Since their debut, the 2000 film, The Church of Acceptance, which was selected for the prestigious Clermont-Ferrand International Short Film Festival, the pair made a number of award-winning shorts, before their feature debut, Savage, in 2010.
