Director of 'Song of the Sea' reveals frustration

Tomm Moore, director of Oscar-nominated 'Song of the Sea' has criticised Irish audiences for failing to support Irish films at the box office. Moore admits it can be exasperating when home-produced films fail to be commercially successful in Ireland - despite receiving international acclaim. "It can be frustrating when you have spent years working on a film and people don't watch it," he said.
The film follows on from the success of Moore's 2010 film 'The Secret of Kells'. produced in Kilkenny's award-winning animation studio, Cartoon Saloon, headed by Boyle's own Paul Young.
