My first visit exploring Ireland came about while on a call with my friend James. It was 2015 and we had been working on an indie film together. We were in a lull during our extended production schedule (a very long production, spanning a few years).
It was the end of January and James declared he was going to Ireland for St. Patrick’s day with his family and bringing his father in law, David, along as a special treat and that I should come along and explore with them.
I don’t think he truly expected me to actually go but I saw it as an opportunity and I took it to heart.
I immediately said yes, that’s a great idea! After running it by my wife Michelle, it was a go, officially that is.
Ireland had been on my list of places to explore for some time. Between reading about Ireland for years and being a fan of Irish cinema, it was the invitation I could not refuse.
My wife Michelle had even lived there for a summer a few years before we met with her friend. Hearing her wax on about her love for the green isle made this an easy decision.
