Kneecap and the Irish language movie business - Trevor Birney from Finepoint
Description
Kneecap, the movie
Trevor Birney is much more than a tenacious investigative journalist. He is a documentarian who has found himself producing a feature film that’s become a viral sensation even before it lands in cinemas across Ireland, the UK and US this month. In some ways it couldn’t be more niche: Kneecap is an Irish language film telling the story of a west Belfast rap group. But early indications, from awards to critical plaudits, are that the movie will have universal appeal. So what’s the business of showbusiness really like? How does a Belfast company raise millions to tell a story and bring it to screens across the world? All will be revealed. There’s also new, number crunching and proposals to make the world a better place. Melanie Harrison joins Trevor and Jim in the studio.
