'Gerard, our screenwriter, describes it a ‘love letter to parents everywhere’ and I think that sums it up perfectly as families across the world have connected beautifully with this Belfast story.'
A ‘joyful’ short film about a young boy who wants to wear a dress to his Holy Communion is set to be part of a global LGBTQIA+ film campaign.
Filmed in North Belfast, it centres on West Belfast parents Maria and Dermot, played by Gallagher and McCann, whose straightforward family life takes a sudden turn when their son, Johnny, announces that he wants to wear a dress for his Holy Communion. "The film has been championed by a lot of Family and LGBTQIA+ film festivals across the US and Europe and we also got great feedback from Kinder Film Fest in Japan, where it was dubbed; their audiences really loved and embraced the film.Shauna added that it is a very joyful film which celebrates Northern Ireland.
"It's also a celebration of children, their bravery, and their ability to look beyond labels and celebrate their friends for who they are.”
