Harriet 2012, 10 mins Harriet has missed out on her career, on love and on her youth to be there for her mother. Now it’s her turn. Penned by writer Fran Banks, Harriet sees superb performances from a cast of Irish actors including Padraig Murray, Yvonne Ussher, Richard Wall and Sophie Merry. The film was made for The Attic Studio’s film festival. The ‘no budget’ collaboration saw the team ‘change’ Claire Hall shopping centre into Dublin Airport. This is a rare example of Cassidy directing the script of another writer. “I had Fran on hand throughout the shoot,” recalls Cassidy. “As a writer myself I wanted to make sure that the final film encompassed her original vision.” @DeclanCreative | mail@declancassidy.com HOME
