The Animator Slash Director Who Brought Us ‘Secret Of Kells’ And ‘Song Of The Sea’ Dropped Out Of School At 15 And Worked In A Factory

Nora Twomey: The factory “was an incredible training for my imagination. The machinery was very loud so I had to wear earplugs and then headphones on top of the earplugs and I couldn’t talk to anybody. And I’d just make up stories and entertain myself with beginnings, middles and ends in my head for those 12 hours.”
