EXCLUSIVE! Jim Sheridan on his unique directing style

Jim Sheridan has opened up about his unique style of directing.

The director, best known for My Left Foot, In The Name Of The Father and In America, most recently worked with Hollywood hunk Eric Bana and Irish star Jack Reynor on The Secret Scripture, which premiered in Dublin last night.

Speaking to Goss.ie at the premiere, Eric Bana gushed about working with Jim, but admitted that the way he works is “not for everyone”.

And now, the 68-year-old has delved into his particular style, by saying, “I do shoot what I’ve written and then I try to get more out of it.”

Jim explained that he does this to make scenes seem more real, and so the actors come across more natural, and less scripted.

“I take it further and do different things, throw things in,” he told Goss.ie at the ADIFF Gala Screening of The Secret Scripture.

“It takes away the performance element of it. People don’t feel pressured.”
