When we made Flick we thought "oh yeah a movie about drugs everybody
will be interested in that" but drug movies don't really sell. There's
ferocious competition, Irish films are competing with the best of the
rest of the world, not Hollywood because we don't really compete with
them, it's a choice between the next Wong Kar-Wai movie or an Irish
movie. Everyone is pitted against each other. The American's dominate
but the machine is just so vast now. It'd be nice on the next one to
actually have a million bucks (pause) and Sean Penn". - On drug themed
Irish films
