After much chipping away and many incarnations, my Screen Ireland Spotlight project, Tough Old Broad, debuts on The Filmarket Hub where it has been voted an “Excellent Script.” The story in a nutshell: “When a rule-breaking care-home resident (known as The Rottweiler during her lawyering days) declares war on the bully of a mute teenager, and ends up going too far, she learns to stop fighting her beloved husband’s wish to die. Tough Old Broad is a tribute to my dad. A fighter like Nina, Dad lost his battle to Parkinson’s.After much chipping away and many incarnations, my Screen Ireland Spotlight project, Tough Old Broad, debuts on The Filmarket Hub where it has been voted an “Excellent Script.” The story in a nutshell: “When a rule-breaking care-home resident (known as The Rottweiler during her lawyering days) declares war on the bully of a mute teenager, and ends up going too far, she learns to stop fighting her beloved husband’s wish to die.
