The Visit
Short Film
“Manchester was a big part of my life for a long time, and I grew to love the kind of smart, committed, creative underground scene there. The MancMade people are today’s version, and a friend tipped me off about a project they had, called The Visit, which looked like it could be a real jewel, sharp, complex, and emotionally resonant, and I wanted to get involved, and I’m delighted they let me”
The visit
IRA man Tommy McDaid is pulled back to Manchester 25 years after he helped plant a huge bomb that devastated the City Centre and changed the course of his life forever.
“The Visit started out with a great screenplay, a terrific cast and a committed crew – and even so, it came out better than I dared to hope. It’s a tiny Swiss watch of a movie, jeweled with elegy, humanity, regret … and an unstated but powerful thread of hope. I’m proud to have been involved.”
