Mulligan adds: “Music in films play such an essential role in communicating the emotions within a story. We were very lucky Stuart 
agreed to give his time to the project.  We rang him four weeks before the world premiere in Galway Film Fleadh. Stuart came in and was a complete professional. He brought a new life to the film with his music. 
“We worked nights in his studio, as his days were jam packed at the time. There were a lot of 4am finishes in order to have the music ready for the world premiere.”
