Film 'I Didn't... I Wasn't...I Amn't' To Be Screened At Dingle International Film Festival
The short film directed, written, and starring Irish actress Laoisa Sexton, will be shown March 23rd at the Dingle International Film Festival.
Laoisa Sexton's directorial debut I Didn't... I Wasn't...I Amn't is an honest and darkly un-romantic comedy. Set in Dublin, it follows a lonely woman grappling with sex and danger as she falls for a smooth talking older man. The story of the film was adapted from Sexton's debut play For Love, which was produced Off-Broadway and received considerable acclaim including an esteemed NY Times Critic Pick. The 24-minute film was funded entirely through a crowdfunding campaign, with production taking place over only 5 days. It was shot by Irish cinematographer Trevor Murphy (Fairy Tale of New York, Poster Boys) and produced by Ten Thousand Hours Films. It features a talented cast of Irish actors, staring Aidan Gillen (Game of Thrones, Peaky Blinders, The Wire), Neili Conroy (Damo & Ivor) and Sexton herself.
Laoisa Sexton has produced three Off-Broadway plays total with the legendary Irish Repertory Theater; The Last Days of Cleopatra was another recipient of a NY Times Critic's Pick. She is currently working on financing an upcoming short film based on her third play The Pigeon in The Taj Mahal.
I Didn't... I Wasn't...I Amn't will be shown at the Dingle International Film Festival on March 23rd @ 7:30pm as part of their Adults Only program. Tickets are available here.
The 2019 Dingle International Film Festival takes place from March 21- March 24. Founded in 2007 , it brings together a selection of courageous and original filmmaking from Ireland and abroad. More information here.
