Chicago – When the term “A Star is Born” is used, behind that moment is hours of toil and stick-to-it-tiveness that actors and creators must go through. In that process is the Irish actor/writer and director Tania Notaro, who recently brought her short film “Glitterbug” to the Chicago Irish Film Festival.
“Glitterbug” is set in 1990s Dublin, as two young club DJs (Notaro and co-star Irene Kelleher) dream of making it to London and the big time. When one of them is diagnosed with the HIV virus, this dream is deferred and causes tension among caretakers, relatives and friends. “Glitterbug” is Tania Notaro’s first film.
