Will Collins (@WillumsFillum) is the screenplay writer for the Irish animation Song of the Sea, about a young Irish boy named Ben, and his little sister Saoirse, a girl who can turn into a seal, go on an adventure to free the faeries and save the spirit world.
Immediately after the film, I reached out to Will Collins, the screenplay writer for the film. Will took me on a journey of his own, from the inception of the idea for Song of the Sea, to how Will was introduced as a writer, working closely with Tomme Moore, co-founder of Cartoon Saloon, director and illustrator for the film.
When Song of the Sea was nominated to win an Oscar, Will was invited to join a luncheon with the world's greatest filmmakers and artists. He sat down next to Richard Linklater, the director for Boyhood (A Moving 12 Year Epic That Isn't Quite Like Anything Else in the History of Cinema). To Will's surprise, Linklater had to share a family story of his own with Will, related to Song of the Sea.
