BAFTA CRAFT AWARDS + TRESPASSES + RYAN KERNAGHAN ISC

Talent

A huge congratulations to Cinematographer Ryan Kernaghan ISC for his WIN at the Bafta Craft Awards!!!! 

Ryan has won the 'Television Craft Award for Photography & Lighting: Fiction' for his work on Limited Series Trespasses.

The limited series is directed by Dawn Shadforth and stars Lola Petticrew (Say Nothing), Gillian Anderson (The X Files), Tom Cullen (The Gold) and Martin McCann (Blue Lights). 

"A Catholic teacher and a Protestant solicitor defending IRA members engage in a forbidden relationship amidst the tensions of 1970s Northern Ireland in this adaptation of Louise Kennedy's award-winning novel."

The Guardian 4/5 Stars: "We could be happy together, if only we weren't here and it wasn't now: the tragedy of sweethearts caught up in conflict, their love overcome by others' hate, is an old and powerful story. Trespasses, an adaptation of Louise Kennedy's novel, written by Ailbhe Keogan, hits that nerve."

Available to stream on Channel 4
