Based on these three 'strikingly different' feature films, the Irish Times described Barros D'Sa and Leyburn as "the most important contemporary filmmakers working from Northern Ireland".
Barros D’Sa's directorial debut in 2006 was The 18th Electricity Plan,[2] a short film based on her own screen play and co-directed with husband and collaborator Glenn Leyburn.
Co-directed with Leyburn and starring Rupert Grint, Robert Sheehan and Kimberley Nixon, Cherrybomb had its world premiere in competition at the 2009 Berlinale Generations and was subsequently bought by Indi Vision/Universal Pictures for distribution in the UK.
Good Vibrations was written by Colin Carberry and Glenn Patterson and stars Richard Dormer, Jodie Whittaker, Adrian Dunbar, Liam Cunningham, Karl Johnson and Dylan Moran.
Starring Lesley Manville and Liam Neeson, the film observes the heartbreak, intimacy and resilience that follows when long married couple Joan and Tom are confronted with a sudden cancer diagnosis.
