Elevating Queer Irish Storytelling With Dollar Baby’s Elevating Queer Irish Storytelling With Dollar Baby’s
“Growing up in Ireland, queer representation was practically non-existent"Short films demand impact in minimal time, and Dollar Baby’s delivers with such ease and flair. This bold, fresh take on love, identity, and the realities of migration and self-discovery makes it a must-watch.
It makes a powerful statement on the importance of authentic queer representation, something Shannon is fiercely committed to amplifying. “Growing up in Ireland, queer representation was practically non-existent, I had to go down the YouTube rabbit holes just to find anything relatable. The first lesbian couple I ever saw in real life was in New York when I was 20! Imagine how much sooner I might have figured out my identity if I had seen queer stories growing up.”
“I actually met Remi through LinkedIn in November 2023 when I reached out about her coming on board for Dollar Baby’s. We clicked immediately and have been great friends ever since! In fact, we just moved in together in London with our girlfriends. I feel so lucky to have built such a strong friendship through this process.
“When Megan and I were starting, we built a collective of creatives, directors, editors, actors, and writers and it meant we could create short films on basically zero budget. That gave us our first two shorts and we all got something out of it!”
