		Barry O'Donoghue - Producer
		Barry spent three years assiduously avoiding the California sunshine while working on such animated features as 'The Iron Giant,' 'Osmosis Jones' and 'Adam Sandler's Eight Crazy Nights' at Warner Bros. Feature Animation. Feeling deeply deprived of high levels of rainfall he returned to Dublin and founded Barley Films in 2002 to produce independent animated projects. Of course now he misses the sun!
