Ken Wardrop’s delightful documentary Making the Grade is out on DVD now, and we’ve got copies to give away!
Hailed by the RTE Guide as an “insightful and delightful slice of Irish life”, MAKING THE GRADE invites us into the world of the piano lesson. From the director of His & Hers, acclaimed filmmaker Ken Wardrop’s signature style once again shines through in these heart-warming and life-affirming tales of students and their beloved piano teachers from across Ireland.
