2022 Sundance Film Festival Predictions: Antonia Campbell-Hughes’ It Is In Us All

Published on November 23, 2021

An actress with almost two decades under her belt, Antonia Campbell-Hughes slowly got her feet wet directing some smaller short films and then got into game mode in late 2020 with Cosmo Jarvis toplining a drama pitting his character against a younger (possible antagonist) Rhys Mannion. Claes Bang, Mark O’Halloran, Lalor Roddy have supporting parts as does Campbell-Hughes. Production on the Ireland set It Is In Us All was quite challenging due to it being filmed exactly in the eye of the Covid storm, this has been in post production since January.

Gist: This is about a Londoner (Cosmo Jarvis), who returns to his ancestral homeland of Donegal in the west of Ireland and is drawn in by a teenage boy who almost kills him in a car crash.

Production Co./Producers: Savage Productions’ Conor Barry, Pale Rebel Productions’ Emma Foley and Tamryn Reinecke.

Prediction: WORLD CINEMA DRAMATIC COMPETITION.

U.S. Distributor: Rights Available. TBD (domestic, international).
