Synopsis:

THE BOY FROM MERCURY is one of the most enduring films to come out of Ireland. It has become a favorite for family viewing both as a snapshot of bygone times and as great entertainment. Writer and director Martin Duffy made his transition from film-editing to feature-film directing with this story based on his own childhood, and here he gives the full account of how he shaped the film- and how the film shaped him. It is a unique account of such a life experience from an Irish filmmaker: where else would you find out about the revenge of the piddling dog, how films bring babies- and what the Cannes festival and hill-walking in Fermanagh have in common? The book also provides a rich source of information for all aspiring filmmakers; it is a road map for the filmmaking process from script to screen. This edition includes the entire working screenplay of the movie.
