Dundalk woman Andrea O’Connor has scored another Director’s Guild of America (DGA) nomination, for her role in the making of star studded new movie ‘Spotlight.’
Andrea, from Cedarwood Park, was second assistant director on the film which has been nominated in the category for Outstanding Directorial Achievement in Feature Film.
Spotlight was written and directed by Tom McCarthy, and is based on the true story of a newspaper’s investigation into allegations of sexual molestation in Boston in the 1990’s, and the Catholic Church’s response to the events.
Speaking to the Argus about the movie, and her nomination, Andrea explained:
‘I was asked to go to Boston to shoot new scenes and re-shoot some old ones, as most of the movie, like ‘Brooklyn’, was actually shot in Canada.’
