Happy Birthday to Ruth! From Susan and the @WFTIreland team @susanliddy2 @CatalystIntFF 🌹
"I don't believe that directors need to essentially manipulate actors into doing things. You can suffer for your art, and you can make your own self suffer for your art. You don't need anyone else to do it for you." -Ruth Negga🎉 #botd

Tony that's a lovely message for those who might really need to hear it. You inspired our audience at the Shaping the Future in Screenwriting event at Catalyst International Film Festival 2 years ago. Best wishes from the @CatalystIntFF team. Xx
