Oscar-winning director John Patrick Shanley has always yearned to explore his Irish heritage. With the release of his sweeping romantic comedy, WILD MOUNTAIN THYME, Shanley highlights a world of rich tradition, family and beauty. Set in the Irish countryside, WILD MOUNTAIN THYME tells the story of two star-crossed lovers who struggle to overcome the silence (and the land) that lies between them. In this 1on1, we get to speak with Shanley about the mythology of Irish storytelling, what it means to be ‘something that you’re not’ and the differences between Irish and American cultures.
