Irlanda apuesta por el talento de la joven Flora Montgomery para el programa Shooting Stars de 2003. El público ha podido apreciarla en su interpretación en Goldfish Memory, dirigida en 2002 por Liz Gill, en The Discovery of Heaven de Jeroen Krabbé (2001) y en When Brendan Met Trudy de Kieron J. Walsh (2000), en la que la interpretación del papel de Trudy le valió a Flora (28 años) ser candidata al premio a la mejor actriz protagonista concedido por la Academia Irlandesa de Cine y Televisión, (IFTA).
"The film I'm here with is called Goldfish Memory which is a kind of light Irish romantic comedy. And before that I've always done quite serious, quite heavy pieces.
I'm really into working in pan-European films. I think the Scandinavians, the Germans, the French, the Spanish, they all work together a lot more than films involving the Irish and the English. Because there is a different feeling of film-making there. I think the Irish and the English can sometimes make a huge mistake by making films for the American market because they speak the same language.
And I'm desperately here trying to get back involved in the Continental film-market because there are much more interesting films. They are character-based, they are not making it for a foreign market, they are making it for themselves.
So I like to see real people in real situations rather then this kind of American dream which seems to take over so many commercial films these days which is a real pity. 'Celtic saying/speech' - which actually means: 'Kiss my ass'".
