Brendan Gleeson films short movie in Offaly
Principal filming of a short film set in Offaly and starring Brendan Gleeson has finished up. 'Noreen', a short film written and directed by Domhnall Gleeson and produced by El Zorrero Films, has wrapped production after shooting in various locations in the Faithful County. The film, which stars Brendan Gleeson and Brian Gleeson, tells the story of two Gardaí who solve their own problems through the process of attempting to explain a mysterious death. The film was helped in no small part by the assistance and kindness of the local community who went above and beyond. The production was also greatly assisted by the advice and guidance of those at the FilmOffaly Commission and Filmbase. The film, which is funded by FilmOffaly in partnership with Filmbase, was shot over four days in various locations throughout Offaly. The production crew included Ruairí O'Brien as director of photography and Nicola Moroney as Art Director. Post production will begin immediately and the film will be edited by Niall Campion of NOHO. Noreen will premiere in Tullamore Omniplex in the Spring.
