S.J. COULES

I wrote A Day Like Today after filmmaker Gerard Walsh – with whom I’d worked on short films – asked me to bring to life a simple story he had in mind.

The result was an intimate, original film that doesn’t shy away from its low budget, but rather embraces it, as the material seeks out real-life scenes and aims to capture everyday life in Dublin for two strangers whose encounter gives them hope that today might actually be a little different.
