Mind-Set is a poignant and funny indie directed by Mikey Murray, and starring Eilis Cahill and Steve Oram. To mark the film’s release we had the pleasure in speaking to the latter, as Oram talks to us about his process in tackling a role that comes with such a great deal of authenticity, a character who is, for use of a better word, normal.
Oram also talks about shooting in Murray’s house, he shows us a tin of baked beans (makes sense in the moment) and speaks about working his co-star Cahill. He also talks about capturing the tricky tonality of a film that is equal parts funny and strangely moving at the same time.
Watch the full interview with Steve Oram here:
Synopsis
Lucy, a disillusioned office clerk who lives in a dysfunctional relationship with her slovenly partner Paul, is surprised to find herself on the cusp of a none-too-secret affair with her new work colleague, Daniel. The thrill of the chase for a shred of affection takes her mind off her problematic life but she’s not sure that she’ll ever leave Paul, or that sex with someone else is the true answer to her problems.
Mind-Set is out now.
