‘When we go to film festivals, we are so proud to say we're from Northern Ireland'
A mother-and-son film-making duo have swapped Hollywood in Los Angeles for Holywood in Co Down, where they, via their production company, are now keen to make their mark telling Northern Irish stories too
Elisa Bonora, an award-winning film editor and producer, and her son Giordano moved to Northern Ireland from the States four years ago and set up Red Wolf Films.
They continue to work with filmmakers in the US on major feature-length documentaries, such as Deep Rising, narrated by Jason Momoa, which premiered at Sundance 2023, and Maestra, produced by David Letterman, which won the Audience Award at the Tribeca Film Festival 2023.
