At 90, Seamus Molloy's only companions are the cats he chases away, a neighbor's dog that frightens him and the clock ticking on the wall. The only disruptions from loneliness are the ping-pong balls, rocks and hens chucked through his window. (Apparently) he has two granddaughters who deposit mail, food or messages. Then, after 60-years absence, a letter arrives from the past. This time his life could be disrupted; permanently.

John Slattery, the director, had clear ideas about what he wanted for the music, a lot of which was to appear diegetically in the film, such as being played on a car radio, and on a kid's boom-box. We also wanted it to have a quirky character, that portrays Seamus as a sprightly old man. Other music was tightly coordinated with the dynamics of a scene.

Screenings so far have included the following festivals:

A portrait of an elderly black lady who spends her days looking after the unwanted babies of drug-addicted teen mothers.

The music was intended to underpin the emotional and human aspects of the protagonist's journey, including the loneliness of her life and the solace she found in nurturing babies.

Bookends was awarded the Jurors’ Choice Award from Black Maria Film Festival and Honorable Mention from the International Documentary Association. And also won 16 international awards, including a coveted Cine Eagle.

Out of My Mind is a portrait of the director's brother, John Cadigan, undergoing a psychotic breakdown. The film documents his descent into a mental abyss, and the family's efforts to find help and healing for his schizophrenia.
