A Chat with Irish Oscar winner Benjamin Cleary

Fresh from his Oscar win at the 88th Academy Awards for Best Short Film Live Action for his short Stutterer, we speak to Dubliner Benjamin Cleary. He joins the small club of Irish Oscar winners which includes Peter O'Toole, George Bernard Shaw, Neil Jordan and Brenda Fricker. We chat about how he got started in film-making, the lead up to the big night and what his business card says now post Oscar win.
