  "account": "Irish actor Lewis Brophy, who has been frequently compared to his fellow Dubliner Barry Keoghan, found himself working alongside the talented thespian in the upcoming film \"Lemonade.\" During an interview at TIFF 2026, Brophy revealed that their collaboration came about when the two started working together on the project a few years back.\n\nThe film, directed by Kim Bartley, follows the story of Danny, an 18-year-old who struggles to adapt to society after leaving the foster care system. Danny makes a grave mistake that could potentially ruin his future, but then unexpectedly reconnects with his former social worker, Josh, played by Keoghan. Bartley initially approached Keoghan to be an executive producer for the film but was surprised to learn that he was not only interested in producing but also wanted to play the role of Josh.\n\nBartley explained that \"Lemonade\" is her first scripted film, as she has primarily worked on documentaries throughout her career. She found the process of working with Brophy and Keoghan to be a challenge that she had anticipated, despite the similarities between documentary work and acting. \"I thought it was some kind of magical thing I didn't know how to do,\" she said. \"I've always worked on long form documentaries that you shoot over years, observational, getting to know people and spending time with them. In fact, working with actors is a similar dynamic. It's really about relationship building, and I really enjoyed it.\" \"Lemonade\" is set to be released in the U.K. and Ireland early next year and is currently seeking international distribution.",
