Actress Charlene McKenna has said it was “so freeing” to take on an animated role in her latest project as she didn’t have to worry about hair and make-up. Written and directed by Italy’s Enzo d’Alo, she will co-star in A GREYHOUND OF A GIRL which will get its world premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival, which begins on February 16. Based on the same novel as a 2012 release by Roddy Doyle, it tells the story of a young girl named Mary (12), who has a passion for cooking and is also trying to deal with the fact that her granny is dying.
