About a Donkey (2018)
About a Donkey is about growing up & growing old, and finding laughter along the way. The film follows the Owens family: Ann & Tim, their 3 adult children, Cecilia, Burgh, and Annie (and her husband Paul), and matriarch Farrah. When Tim brings home a donkey in a mixture of wanting to rescue both it and himself, all of the characters' lives are shaken up and pushed forward.

    A quiet treat
    When I screened About a Donkey for inclusion in our festival I thought is was one of the nicest independent films of the year. A dramedy about a family with all the same psychosis you probably see in your own, and how their Dad's unaccountable decision to bring home a donkey (of all things) shakes them out of their ruts. The repartee amoungst the siblings is smart but does not feel contrived. You can feel the underlying affection in every exhibit of wit. These are all recognizably humans, making it up as they go along, and finding love that has gone missing.
