Irish Broadcast of After Maeve
After Maeve aired in Ireland yesterday (12th Sept.). What a wonderful response we have had! Emails pouring in with warmest wishes from people who cried and laughed their way through the movie. Some viewers were flicking through the channels, found our documentary and were riveted to the screen. Others had carefully planned to watch, having seen the trailer. 22 percent of the Irish viewing public watched our film, about 230,000 people. We feel that our film is bringing into public awareness something new that strikes a chord with people in dealing with death and loss. We ourselves are not sure how to describe it. This quality is more a feeling that it elicits in people than an intellectual understanding. I am pretty much exhausted in a strangely satisfying way from the emotional response to the film. It seems to penetrate my body and move through me infusing me with a feeling of energy quietly buzzing. So many people have sent their good wishes that perhaps I am simply feeling that energy directly.
