Writers and Directors Tom Berkeley and Ross White said: “Having grown up watching the Oscars every year from afar, we are completely honoured and overwhelmed by this nomination.
"The Academy Awards represent the very pinnacle of international filmmaking, and we are simply blown away to be a small part of this year’s celebration.
"All our thanks go to our generous, passionate and talented cast and crew; a wee film shot in Templepatrick has somehow made its way to Hollywood - this a dream come true. I mean, Steven Spielberg is going to be there, lads. Steven Spielberg.”
