WORDS ON CANVAS. Focla ar Chanbás. Worte auf Leinwand. Four years after the success of his debut “Beginner's Guide to Bravery”, Irish songwriter, musician and composer David Keenan finds himself at a crossroads – caught between his love of music and the challenges of the music industry. Intimate and unfiltered, we are given an insight into his creative process, how he deals with the public, and the mechanisms of the business. Sometimes poetic and full of inspiration, sometimes angry and full of doubt – but always honest. Winner of the Best Cinematography Award at the Docs Ireland Festival in Belfast.
