An amateur production by arrangement with Nick Hern Books
Author: Marie Jones
Director: Csaba Bartos
Featuring: Jody Quirke and Paul Musiol
Jake and Charlie are thirty-somethings who meet when working as extras on a big American movie being shot in Ireland. Charlie's video shop in Ballycastle has gone bankrupt and Jake has returned to Kerry after a futile few years in the US. The movie is a wonderful break from worrying about their futures, until the harsh realities of rural life break through.
