Director and co-writer Damien O’Connor said: “Initially, it was a little daunting to turn the book into the film, but we had Frank’s widow Ellen McCourt on hand to guide us which was amazing if we strayed too far from Frank’s voice when writing the dialogue she would let us know.”
The film features the voices of Ruth Negga (Love/Hate, Loving), Lucy O’Connell (Song of the Sea), and Frank McCourt’s brother Malachy.
