Published:

A nail-biting thriller made in Offaly is due to be shown on RTE 2 on Monday night next, October 13 at 11.25pm.

A Simple Killing is a gripping story about a woman who is contemplating the end of her life. Things change drastically when she meets a distressed woman who is taking refuge from her abusive partner.

This tense thriller was made by Western Front Studios and shot on location at Bellefield House and Gardens. The film was directed by Jason Branagan and written by Mark Conway.

Filming was possible thanks to winning the 2023 FilmOffaly Short Film Award, an initiative of Offaly County Council which goes to talented and original film makers using Offaly as a location for their project.

Since wrapping production, the film has been screened at multiple film festivals including the OFFline Film Festival in BIrr, Derry’s Foyle Film Festival and a US premiere at the Newport Beach Film Festival.

Next week’s screening is part of RTE’s Short Screen strand.
