Redcross native Robert Manson cut his teeth as a film director making videos in Wicklow as a kid. He has come a long way since graduating from the National Film School in 2008 and co-founding Annville Films. He has been making his mark in the Irish film industry with short films for the past number of years. The Silver Bow, which won the Taylor Art Award in 2008, has since travelled the world with screenings in a number of countries and a host of nominations and awards.
