A big part of filmmaking is gathering a group of people you can work with.

I am an unusual Irishman. I'm probably Ireland's third most famous Jewish son.

The most conventional romantic trope of all is that you put lovers under extreme pressure, where they have to make decisions that illuminate aspects of that bond.

Trying to make something as tricky as 'Room' really believable is extremely hard, and it largely rests with that relationship between the actors and the director, and the director and the crew.
