Kathryn Ferguson

And really, for me, I hadn't even thought beyond Nothing Compares with any other film because it had taken so much of my focus and every part of me, basically.

Up until when it was released.

So I was quite just intrigued to be suddenly getting these calls about drama.

One of the calls was actually an English producer, Kath Matic, who got in touch.

And she again said the same.

Have you thought about this?

And she said, have you read the work of Belfast writer Wendy Erskine?

And I had read Wendy's first book of short stories, Sweet Home, but I hadn't read a new one that she was about to tell me about called Dance Move.

And she said, listen, I've got it as a manuscript.

Can I send it to you?

Have a read and see what you think.

I think I was touring Nothing Compares.

I was back and forth from America a lot during that period.

And I brought this manuscript in one of these long flights and I read the whole thing.

I think there were 10 or 12 stories in it.

And I was just curious.

I just went in very open to see if there's anything that really resonates.

And I think it was because of the timing and because where my head had been for so many years, Wendy's story, Nostalgie, jumped out at me immediately.

First of all, it jumped out because how cinematic it was.

And Wendy writes in such a powerfully cinematic way.
