BREATHE - JAMES DOHERTY (2015)

Written by Theo James Krekis and directed by James Doherty, Breathe was supported by Film London and played at several major short film festivals before winning the PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD in the FILMSshort competition. A short film drama, with an LGBT theme, it tells the story of Patrick and Francie, a father and son in the Irish traveller community. Patrick wants his boy to be a hard, bare-knuckle boxer like him but Francie is not a macho type. Indeed, he is quite the opposite and Patrick is determined to mould him in his own image. Francie's mother wants to protect her son and loves him no matter what his sexuality but can Patrick learn to love his son the same way?
