Irish Film Board: "A Film With Me In It (2008)

A black comedy which tells the story of a down-on-his-luck actor who, through no fault of his own, ends up with a dead dog, a dead brother, a dead girlfriend and a dead landlord in his apartment. Shocked and unable to process what has occurred, he enlists the help of a hapless but hilarious friend. Together they hatch a genius plan to treat their predicament as a film scenario and try to rewrite the day.

Dublin industry comes of age - Entertainment News, Film News, Media - Variety:

"The decision by Casarotto Ramsay & Associates to open a Dublin office, headed by senior agent Charlotte Kelly, is a sign that the Irish film and TV community has come of age.

Casarotto is one of London's top boutiques for directors and writers, and already reps some of Ireland's highest-profile talents, including Neil Jordan, Damien O'Donnell, John Carney, Lenny Abrahamson and Mark O'Halloran. Kelly says her move to Dublin was driven not just by the strength of the agency's existing Irish roster but the upsurge of new talent coming out of the Emerald Isle."
