Sao get Ronan in Learning Lambing for a new movie

Saoing Ronan likes to immerse himself in any role.

But Lady Bird’s star, Little Women and Mary Queen of Scots had to learn a new skill as a rona, the main character in the Offun, who is running for honors at the Bafta awards.

Based on Amy’s liprot Awarded memoryIt is a young woman who returns home in Orkney to deal with her past and addictions.

She helps her father with her farm in the ground strip known as offun, turning her hand in everything, from feeding the animals, to childbirth, so four times Oscar nominated Saoing learned to do the same.

“Oh, I was standing,” Scotland News told BBC. “I don’t think you can pretend that, as you will see in the movie.”

He observed local farmers and tried to remember what he saw and copied it.

“We had Kyle, this very young farmer, who was about 23 years old and supervised three different farms in the Orkney continent. He trained me out of the camera.”

Then he received the call to really do it.

“When you get a lamb at the beginning, they seem to be dead,” she says.

“They are quite lifeless and the first time you do, you are worried that you hurt them, but you have to be quite hard.

“After getting the first along the way, I felt a little safer, but having to keep that mask of confidence on my face while I was inside, I was completely terrified, it was probably one of the biggest challenges of acting I have faced.”

The book, which was written in 2016, was first given to Sao oneself for her husband: the Scottish actor Jack Lowden.

She said: “We were locked up, we were reading three books a week and he had been aware of the book a few years before because he had spent a little time on the Orkney Islands with his friend.

“Originally I had gone there to investigate John Rae, the explorer who is from Orkney, so that was how he discovered the book.

“He gave it to me when I had finished it and said ‘this is the next role you need to play.”

She devoured the book and agreed.

“I think, as much as I was interested in the subject and the world we were, I could also relate to many different reasons.

“It was how Amy decided to write about the place. It was the beautiful poetic prose she chose. It was something that is so identifiable and every day for so many people and made it something from another world.”

Saoing and Jack are producers of the film, which has been nominated for an excellent British film in the BAFTA.

He is also ready for the best actress, against people like Cynthia Erito in Wicked and Demi Moore’s turn in the substance.

In 2022, the couple joined the director Nora Fangscheidt and coguionist Amy Liptt in Orkney to start filming.

All were eager to capture the elements, which are part of the film as the cast, but the unpredictable Orcadian climate was complicated.

“There were points in Pope Westray when we had to wear a wind machine because it was too quiet and sunny,” says Saoarse.

“We definitely had to adapt the shooting schedule to nature,” adds Nora.

“We return four times in total. When the lambs were born in April, when birds nest in June, and then the main outbreak was in September when the seals were there.

“Then we returned with a small unit to snow in winter, but it was worth it.”

They were supported by local people, including those who knew Amy and his family, and many had cameos in the film.

Amy herself is one of the place that supports the things that have found washed on the beach, and is one of the wild swimmers, which finally persuades Rona to join them. Saoing did not take much persuade.

“That is something that I love to do: I have swam in cold water since I was a child in Ireland. It’s my safe space.”

Nora says they owe the community a lot in Orkney.

“We received support from the camera with people who act for the first time in their lives, and the people behind the camera. People helped us build things, organize things, feed and some let us enter their homes, and I think that We double the population of the island. “

And Saoing says that he is not the only one who immersed himself in experience.

“Everyone got involved, in front of the camera and behind the camera, in which the main character was experiencing.

“So every time we went out to a boat, or filmed the seals and I sang them, they all got involved.

“We all swam wild together, we all live together. It was an incredibly immersive experience.”
