HATTON NOMINATED FOR A GRIERSON AWARD FOR BEST SPORTS DOCUMENTARY

One-Armed Wonder: The Extraordinary Story of Jimmy Hasty will be screened at this year’s Louth International Film Festival at An Tain Arts Centre on Saturday, September 28th at 12.35pm.

The Emmy award-winning documentary chronicles the inspiring life of Jimmy Hasty, a one-armed footballer from Belfast who went on to become a legendary figure in Dundalk FC’s history.

After losing his left arm at age 14, Hasty defied the odds to become a key player for the Lilywhites, helping them to the League of Ireland title and a historic win over FC Zurich in the European Cup in 1963.

Eleven years later, on October 11th, 1974, Jimmy became a victim of The Troubles when he was gunned down at point-blank range by a paramilitary on the streets of Belfast. He died at the age of 38.


This 27-minute film, which won the Sports Emmy Award for Outstanding Short Documentary at the 45th annual Sports Emmy Awards in New York in May, will be followed by a Q&A session with director Rich Milway from NOAH Media and Dundalk FC head of media and communications Gavin McLaughlin. 

‘One-Armed Wonder: The Extraordinary Story of Jimmy Hasty’ includes contributions from Jimmy’s former Dundalk teammates John Murphy, Davy McArdle and Francie Callan, audio excerpts from the late Jim Malone – the man who brought Jimmy to Oriel Park – and interviews with Jimmy’s wife Margaret Sheppard, and his sons Paul and Martin.

Admission to the event is free. Click here for more information about the Louth International Film Festival.


HASTY FILM TO BE SCREENED AT LOUTH INTERNATIONAL FILM FESTIVAL

We sat down with Emma Everitt, the director of Adam Hills: Foot Fault to talk about the motivations and challenges she faced throughout the production of our new film for Sky Documentaries.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗰𝗮𝗻 𝗽𝗲𝗼𝗽𝗹𝗲 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝗙𝗮𝘂𝗹𝘁?
Fundamentally, this is a film about being included. Disabled or not, it’s hopefully something all viewers can relate to. You can expect laughter throughout with Adam Hills' infectious humour, feelings of frustration and injustice at disability being often ‘left on the sidelines’, and tears of joy as you follow the "tribe" of Para Standing Tennis players campaigning to be seen.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗶𝗴𝗴𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗳𝗮𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗱𝘂𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀?
Getting the federations and Grand Slams to buy into this "new" form of tennis, and the tight turnaround on the film - simultaneously running two edits and filming on location.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆?
The standup. Often documentaries can feel quite straight and serious, but I was keen to subvert the genre and really lean into both Adam's humour and, for the Para Standing Tennis players, the biggest joke of all - their sport not being recognised by the Grand Slams or governing bodies. Comedy can help address challenging subject matter or provide some lightness after quite tense or serious scenes. I'm really pleased with the way lead editor, Andy Hewitt, has cut the standup into film and made the other scenes subversive and fun.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘃𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 during 𝗳𝗶𝗹𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝘆?
Spoiler alert ... Wimbledon. Throughout the film, it feels like, for Adam, the only way to sufficiently shine a spotlight on Para Standing Tennis is to play at the venue he dreamed of as a child, tennis' spiritual home. In the final scene, Adam and a number of the characters we've met walk out on to Centre Court. After playing on the hallowed turf, they chat in the tunnel, underneath the famous Kipling quote “If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster, And treat those two impostors just the same". That felt apt.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗱𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆?
What Para Standing Tennis is. And for people's misconceptions about disability to be challenged. 

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝗰𝘂𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆?
I am a secondary carer to a brother with Down's Syndrome. Telling stories about minority voices was the reason I became a filmmaker. In this documentary, I wanted disability to be incidental, rather than front and centre. Disability is often sensationalised, depicted as either tragic or 'inspiration porn'. I wanted the characters to be seen as people rather than disabled people.
