Offaly short film to premiere at Galway Film Fleadh

A short film shot in Offaly will receive its world premiere at this year's Galway Film Fleadh.

The world premiere of Bigfoot Lover will take place at the Town Hall Theatre in Galway at 12pm on Wednesday, July 8. Tickets are available through the Galway Film Fleadh website.

Bigfoot Lover, which was filmed on location in and around Tullamore in November 2025, has been selected for screening at the prestigious international festival.

The film was made possible through FilmOffaly's Short Film Award, with organisers highlighting the achievement as the second consecutive year that a bursary recipient has secured a place in the renowned festival programme.

Written and directed by filmmaker Megan Murphy and produced by Conor McCormick, Bigfoot Lover tells the story of Cute, a heartbroken and lonely woman struggling to break free from self-destructive patterns in her love life. Her world takes an unexpected turn when she meets Bigfoot.
