Question: Are the directors of films Irreversi and Cherry Ripe (Film) both from the same country?

This page lists the winners and nominees for the Black Reel Award for Outstanding Independent Film. This award is presented to the directors of the film. <SEP> Cherry Ripe is an English song with words by poet Robert Herrick( 1591 – 1674) and music by Charles Edward Horn( 1786 – 1849) which contains the refrain, Cherry ripe, cherry ripe,< br> Ripe I cry,< br> Full and fair ones< br> Come and buy .< br> Cherry ripe, cherry ripe,< br> Ripe I cry,< br> Full and fair ones< br> Come and buy. An earlier poem by Thomas Campion( 1567 – 1620) used the same title" Cherry Ripe", and has other similarities. It is thought that the refrain originated as a trader's street cry. The song's title has been used in other contexts on a number of occasions since and its tune has also been appropriated for other uses. The song was popular in the 19th century and at the time of World War I. <SEP> The film is based on the 1878 novel of the same title by Helen Mathers which is itself named after the traditional song" Cherry Ripe". Cherry Ripe is a 1921 British silent romance film directed by Kenelm Foss and starring Mary Odette, Lionelle Howard and Roy Travers. <SEP> The title refers to how a situation can reverse and turn against the original perpetrator.
