    Bios: Éabha Bortolozzo and Jack Kirwan are two young, Irish, multi-award winning directors. Since meeting in 2014 in their degree course in IADT Animation, the two have co-directed two short films together. Their first film, The Usual was well received and selected to screen nationally and internationally at festivals in Asia, The US and in Europe. Her Song is their second film and revolves around the Mother & Baby homes that were in operation in Ireland throughout the 20th Century. The pair pride themselves on their workflow and their ability to bring a short film to completion with an animation team of just two. They have recently completed the Offline Animation Residency in Birr and are now working on their second Frameworks project in Dublin.
