Louise Brealey Instagram – I can’t believe it! Guess what? I got nominated for Best Actress at the amazing @irisprize! And so did my darling Bel. I’m so happy that Chuck Chuck Baby is getting seen and valued. It’s a very curious, special feeling to know that our work is out there on its own now. It doesn’t belong to us any more. Our small film about the redemptive power of female love in all its forms. I’m so proud. As I stepped outside to feed Southbank Centre the fish this morning (named by our niece) I could feel that it’s coming up to the time when I did my trip, six weeks, 2000 miles in my lovely Dolly-van. I can feel the pull of the road. This morning I woke up – snapped awake – at six, with a pang in my chest for my dad who I haven’t seen since August. I had to read my book because it was too early to call him. I’ll call him now and tell him about the prize.
