Frida Slattery as Herself By Ana Kinsella

You could probably run cities on the energy generated between directors like him and actresses like her.

When Frida Slattery and John Reddan meet in a Dublin pub in 2006, neither can imagine how they will come to shape and define each other’s lives.​

Frida is struggling to launch her acting career, while John is already gaining a name for himself as a director. From the first they see in each other potential and the chance to create work that matters, though the lines between collaboration and exploitation, friendship and desire will prove dangerously slippery.

With the financial crisis looming, the next 15 years takes them from Dublin to London, New York and LA, and through success and disappointment, joy and heartbreak. Their connection is tested and stretched to the point of rupture, but something remains that outlasts their work and the shifting perceptions of the period.

Tracing the complex, winding path of a relationship, FRIDA SLATTERY AS HERSELF is an epic story of art, love and finding your voice, that introduces two unforgettable characters.
