New Irish Feature ‘Gold’ Currently in Production in Dublin
The Irish feature comedy GOLD, written and directed by IFTA-winning Niall Heery (Small Engine Repair) and funded by Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (IFB), has begun production.
Starring David Wilmot (Ripper Street, Shadow Dancer), James Nesbitt (The Hobbit) and Kerry Condon (This Must Be The Place, The Runway) the feature is currently shooting around Dublin with filming set to continue until March.
Wilmot plays a wandering loner, Ray, who tries to track down his estranged ex-partner (Condon) and teenage daughter (played by Maisie Williams) so that his dying father can see his grand-daughter one last time.
The film is being produced by Tristan Orpen Lynch and Aoife O'Sullivan for Subotica. Irish crew include DoP Tim Fleming (Citadel); production designer Padraig O'Neill (King of the Travellers) and Leonie Prendergast (What Richard Did).
Niall Heery picked up the IFTA for Breakthrough Talent in 2007 for his feature film Small Engine Repair.
‘Gold' is scheduled for a 2014 theatrical release.
