Haha that's deadly, I've never been to Mayo but, I've written and directed a few short films with an Actor I met who's from Mayo I think it would be a really cool county to visit. I lived in a squat with my parents in the Netherlands when I was about 2, I had my 3rd birthday over there, in a place called.. (I'm most likely going to spell it wrong but I'll write it like it sounds.) Annalydan. When we came back to Ireland they said one of the first things I asked my Nan was "Can I have a Gilder for an icecream." Most likely spelt that wrong too haha.
The Vikings was a great experience, their studio is only about a 15 minute drive from me, that was my first season with them. But, I'll be back out with them again soon for to start filming season 3 and I can't wait. All the people out there were amazing, it really felt more like being at a festival than being at work. Everyone out there are very like minded too and there were so many ex film students and aspiring actors so I was able to work with a bunch of them on a film I wrote when we wrapped in November, which should be finished Post-production soon.
