What It’s Like (coming 2025)
What It's Like is a romantic comedy-drama short film about Sinead (Gill Gillespie), a lost soul convinced that walking the Camino will fix all her problems. That is until she runs into Adam (Naoise Dunbar), the film star who claims he stopped talking to her because his career took off.
Sinead is harbouring secrets, but there are things she doesn’t manage to conceal from Adam who discovers that this trip might just be reckless.
What It’s Like - Part One, is the first chapter of a larger narrative, with plans for a feature-length adaptation in the future.

Grounded in hope and humour, What It's Like takes a brief look at some of the darker things that can throw us off course and how a journey can force us to rely on the help and generosity of others when we need it most.
Drawing inspiration from Irish landscapes and universal themes of connection and trust, What It’s Like nods to its writer’s multi-cultural life experience and love of cinematic beauty.
