Directed by Jack Armstrong and produced by Melissa Lawlor for Revolution Media and Quanta Capital, Made in Dublin has been acquired for international sales by Princ Films in the US. Princ Films recently made its first outing with the title at the American Film Market. The film marks Armstrong’s feature debut.
Made in Dublin follows Finn (Stuart Cullen), an aspiring actor who makes a living working in a restaurant in Dublin. The plot is described as follows: “In a city of countless stories, lives collide and destinies intertwine. A wannabe actor, down on his luck, waiting tables, desperate for his big break. A washed up and strung out movie director, unwanted by Hollywood and his beautiful ‘A list’ wife. A lonely drag Queen ready to trust again, to love and be loved. And a femme fatale working through her ‘Daddy’ issues in her own unique way. All set on a course of destruction and all heading each other's way.”
The independent Irish feature stars Paudge Behan (Veronica Guerin) , Maya O’Shea (Verdigris), Jonathan Delaney Tynan (Gretel and Hansel) and newcomer Stuart Cullen. The film was executive produced by Mel Sutcliffe.
“An extraordinary film! Director Jack Armstrong creates a unique cinematic experience seamlessly bringing together characters from the opposite ends of society and unravels their lives in front of us,” said Princ Films President Igor Princ of Made in Dublin.
“We have not seen anything like this since Neil Jordan’s Mona Lisa. Beautiful photography and carefully chosen, well decorated sets elevate the impact of the film’s finale. We at Princ Films are simply delighted to have the opportunity to work with this film and to put it in front of audiences worldwide.”
After a short festival window which included the Galway Film Fleadh, Nòt Film Fest, and Silk Road Film Festival, the film picked up three awards at Cannes World Film Festival including Best Independent Feature.
