Do you ever get the feeling of chills? Like when someone says just exactly what you were hoping to hear? No, actually when they say something even better than you imagined? Just spent a great Dublin day talking to some great Dublin people about a truly Dublin subject.
Documentary filmmaking can be an unruly business. You can do all the planning in the world and you still might not get the filmmaking result you were hoping for. Those who know me will know I was struggling with getting some of the interviews I had hoped for. After weeks of stressing and fretting I wouldn't get THE interview, I ended up getting not one, but three interviews more brilliant than I could have hoped. So good that the mood of the entire film has shifted into something altogether different. And that's one hell of a good surprise.
