Director Conor Dooley’s all-encompassing comedy short Gold and Mud is a tale of one woman’s interaction with love and loss. A story told across a series of intimate vignettes that, when connected, depict many of life’s pitfalls and absurdities. The brilliance of Dooley’s film is in how subtly profound it is. You’ll be watching along laughing at his protagonist Ana (who is played with heart and humility by Ana Fabrega) and her shenanigans but before long you’ll realise that it’s resonating on a much deeper, emotional level. With Gold and Mud recently arriving online Dn joined Dooley for a conversation about his short, talking through the creative challenges he set himself from the off, how he shot the majority of the film in his own home, and the tonal balance of heart and fart that he always strives to achieve.
