Kieran Darcy-Smith’s Wish You Were Here to open Sundance Film Festival

Filmmaker Kieran Darcy-Smith’s debut feature Wish You Were Here has been selected to open Sundance Film Festival.

The screening will also be the world premiere of the film co-written by Darcy-Smith and his wife Felicity Price and produced by Angie Fielder.

Encore spoke with Darcy-Smith in November: “It’s been an extraordinary 18 months and we were given this opportunity to make this movie. I’m thrilled with the response.”

“It’s as I envisioned. That’s probably one of the reasons I feel so good – all the stars lined up. My wife and I co-wrote the script. We had to get a nanny and shoot in cambodia and it was a low budget film. It was madness. A very alive period of our lives. And out of this madness came this film.”
