‘She is literally the perfect granny!’ Rosaleen Linehan, the veteran Irish actor, says of her character Emer in Greyhound of a Girl, an animated film adapted from Roddy Doyle’s book of the same name by Italian filmmaker Enzo d’Alò, and co-written with David Ingham. The film will play at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh and Rosaleen hopes that audiences will like it. It’s hard to know, when making an animation, what the final product will be, she explains. Unlike stage and live-action film, which she is used to, recording audio for the film was done in isolation from the majority of her fellow cast members.
