The past few years we’ve seen a rise in filmmakers or talented folks within the industry taking the step up to directorial feature debut. This is Thompson’s debut with lead star O’Sullivan who wrote the script too. Thompson like many filmmakers has come from the short filmmaking, the perfect place to start for any wannabe filmmaker.

Our writer Freda Cooper caught this one at Edinburgh Film Festival At Home, the digital version of the festival. She described the film as “Where Saint Frances scores is in its ability to surprise.  It’s a film with a cumulative power that sneaks up on you, revealing itself in its final scenes, which pack a truly emotional punch.”
