"Breathe In is a moving short film which depicts the aftermath of a childhood tragedy with sensitivity and quietly astute intelligence."

"Dolan provides us with a wonderfully honest and unsentimental view of death and bereavement from a child perspective. Refreshingly, childhood experience is treated with respect.. an approach that is rarely seen in Irish film."
- Dr. Padraig Whyte, Co-Director M.Phil in Children's Literature,
