This Must Be The Place – Sean Penn

It’s not every day you find yourself sitting alone with an Oscar winning actor, let alone a legend like Sean Penn, so it is certainly a moment I’ll remember!

“This Must Be The Place” is the new feature film from Paolo Sorrentino and will mark the English-language feature debut of the Italian filmmaker. The plot centres around a middle-aged wealthy rock star, played by two time academy award winner Sean Penn, who becomes bored in his retirement and takes on the quest of finding his father’s executioner, an ex-Nazi war criminal who is a refugee in the U.S.

My part in the film was a mystery woman who caught the eye of Cheyenne (played by Sean Penn). We filmed the scene on the last day of shooting in Ireland and it was an absolute pleasure and privilege to work with him in any capacity. I was lucky in that we were the only two actors on set so we sat together between takes and chatted and shared a drink after filming. I have to say he was an absolute gentleman and I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and look forward to seeing the results next year when the film is released.

Covies at the Galway Film Fleadh

Blogged by Sarah on July 5th, 2010 in Acting, Covies, Feature Film

It’s Galway Film Fleadh time of year again. The festival kicks off tomorrow and runs for 6 days until Sunday 11th.

Covies, the web series in which I played lead female Bridie O’Malley, has undergone a face lift and been edited by director Len Collin into a feature film which has been accepted by Galway Fleadh as one of their wild card screenings. Covies is due to air in the Cinemobile, which will be parked outside the Town Hall Theatre, on Thursday 8th at 10am. Tickets are an extremely reasonably priced €3 so if your in the vicinity please do drop in and give it a view.

I am still hopeful I will make it to the festival myself at some stage during the week.

Enjoy!

Feature Film, “Girl Next Door”

Blogged by Sarah on January 15th, 2010 in Acting, Feature Film, Job Update

Hello all,

A little news on the job front! I auditioned a couple of days ago for a feature film, Girl Next Door. I am happy to accept the role of Tania in the feature due to begin shooting in Ireland towards the end of this month. The feature is written and directed by Lorna Fitzsimons.  Lorna has worked as a successful photographer and is now moving into the world of film.  Tania is a supporting role, she’s a bit of a bitch and should be a fun character to play so I’ll be looking forward to working on the project.

More info to follow as I get it.

Have a great weekend everyone.

Sarah ;-)
