Naman Ramachandran After 22 weeks in cinemas across Ireland and the U.K., writer-director Colm Bairéad’s “An Cailín Ciúin” (“The Quiet Girl”) has crossed €1 million ($971,000) at the box office. The film is Ireland’s entry in the Oscars’ international feature category. Based on Irish author Claire Keegan’s story “Foster,” the coming-of-age film, set in rural Ireland in 1981, follows Cáit (Catherine Clinch) as she is sent from her overcrowded, dysfunctional household to live with distant relatives for the summer. It has been an unstoppable force on the festival and awards circuit, winning top prizes at the Berlin, Dublin and Taipei film festivals and sweeping the Irish Film and Television Awards. Produced by Cleona Ní Chrualaoi for Inscéal, the film is distributed by Break Out Pictures and Curzon.
‘Big Brother’ Alums Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao Reveal Their ‘Very Exciting’ 1-Year Anniversary Plans
22.09.2022 - 20:37 / usmagazine.com
Celebrating their love! Big Brother alums Claire Rehfuss and Derek Xiao are gearing up to commemorate their one-year anniversary after meeting on the CBS reality show last summer.
“We had very ambitious plans that fell through,” Xiao, 25, exclusively told Us Weekly on Tuesday, September 20. The product manager explained that he and Rehfuss, 26, originally wanted to take a train “up the west coast from California to Seattle” for the occasion.
“One of us took a little bit too long to book it,” Xiao admitted, explaining that train prices were too high by the time they got around to finalizing the trip. “Planning’s definitely not a strong suit.” Despite the minor setback, the duo is still set on doing something special.
“I think now we’re gonna probably either stay in California and go to Catalina Island for a night or maybe go down to Mexico,” the Maryland native told Us.
“We’re still new to California so I feel like even just doing [a] staycation or [exploring] little areas around Los Angeles is, like, very exciting to us,” Rehfuss added.
The reality TV alums told Us last month that they were moving across the country together. “You know, those [New York] rent prices. We couldn’t stay,” Xiao quipped at the time.
Last October, Us broke the story that the pair were dating, despite having a platonic relationship in the Big Brother house.
“I think that we both really felt the chemistry once we got to [the] jury house and could really connect with each other,” Rehfuss revealed at the time. “We would stay up late talking every single night and we just really developed a bond.”
The New York native and her boyfriend decided to put their connection to the test by competing in season 34 of The Amazing Race together, which premiered on CBS
