Interview with actor Dafhyd Flynn

Dafhyd Flynn has worked on various projects, such as the films Lakelands, Gateway, and the TV series Vikings.

You starred in Lakelands, a film about a soccer player who is attacked during a night out. The film was well-received by critics. Why do you think that is?

You also work on various short films. Do you think it's an effective way for a team of actors and directors to promote their work?

I think short films is my favourite thing to do or be in, it’s such a rush for them 3-4 days and you’re packing in so much information and emotion into a 10-15 minute segment, it’s so impressive to me. They’re great for young directors and aspiring filmmakers, I think in Ireland we have a lot of creative talent, out of the few times I’ve Been to the Galway Film Fleadh I’ve sat in for short film programmes, I love it.

What is the state of cinema in Ireland?

I think I remember seeing before that out of all countries in Europe that Ireland has the most Cinema attendances annually So I think that speaks for itself that the Irish love a good film.  

Could you tell us about your upcoming projects?

I’ve done a few projects so Far this year including my own first script and short film titled ‘I’m Alright’ which went so amazingly, that’s in the editing process now I can’t wait to see it, hopefully with a bit of luck I land a few more roles before the new year but we’ll see what happens.
