Husband-and-wife filmmakers Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D'Sa, directors of 'Saipan' and 'Ordinary Love', are now represented by Outsider.

Husband-and-wife filmmakers Glenn Leyburn and Lisa Barros D'Sa, the directors of 'Saipan' and 'Ordinary Love', are now represented by Outsider. The Northern Irish duo's latest release tackles the mother of bust-ups between Roy Keane (Éanna Hardwicke) and Mick McCarthy (Steve Coogan) before the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea, a tournament which means a lot to EP Otis Denison.

"Ever since I heard about 'Saipan' I just had to talk to them and hear their story. The 2002 World Cup was the first one I remember and probably one of the few I actually thought England could win (what a naive and innocent boy I was). What I remember very clearly from that tournament was the iconic footage of Roy Keane walking his dog after storming out of the Irish camp and potentially jeopardising his reputation forever to those who used to sing his name from the rooftops."

"Glenn and Lisa invited me to a private screening of the film several weeks ago and it was fantastic," Denison says. "It's rare you see a story told so convincingly and emphatically in ninety minutes—a lost art and skill in a time where directors think we can’t live without their four hour cut. And that's exactly what we’re always on the lookout for at Outsider: filmmakers who can tell a story quickly because what’s ninety minutes to thirty seconds?

"Better still, Glenn and Lisa are absolutely charming, addicted to their craft, and seriously talented. It's an honour to have them working with us and I cannot wait to see what we can do together." In the meantime, check out the trailer for 2019's 'Ordinary Love'—a great showcase for Liam Neeson and Lesley Manville's talents made possible by Leyburn and Barros D'Sa.
