It's a film Tynan has wanted to make for a few years. "Keane has always fascinated me. I don't think I'm alone in that.... You always want to make films about interesting characters, strong characters."

Tynan says that the film, which is not a biopic but rather a 20 minute feature about a young Roy Keane trying to break into the Rockmount U-13 team, will be "a character-based comedy... I think the comedy lies in the Roy Keane thousand yard stare, that icy determination, you have that but you have it in a little child and everyone else thinks he's a little bit odd"

Tynan envisions the young Keane character as "a little Heathcliff wandering along his Cork mores."

Tynan has previously directed the short film 'Just Saying', which attracted a lot of attention in late 2012.
