Making films that move people

My love of films began at a very young age. The youngest of 4 boys, I tagged along with the brothers to the Saturday morning film club at the ABC Strand cinema, on Belfast’s Holywood Road. The 90-minute programme included multiple cartoons, a couple of Laurel & Hardy films and an instalment of a weekly serial such as Batman & Robin or The Lone Ranger. Mum and dad loved films as well, dad being a big western fan. It helped that we did not get a television until I was 10 years
