‘Patrick’s Day’ to be released in Ireland in February
22 Dec 2014 :
A release date of Friday, 6th February has been announced for Terry McMahon’s award-winning feature ‘Patrick’s Day’. Wildcard Distribution have also released the official trailer for the film.

A premiere screening will take place on Wednesday 4th February in Dungarvan, the hometown of lead actor Moe Dunford. It will be a charity screening in association with Pieta House, No Name Club, and Soroptimist Club in Dungarvan. Dunford has just been named one of the Berlin Film Festival’s Shooting Stars. He will be in attendance of the screening along with the writer/director Terry McMahon and other cast and crew.

Speaking of the Dungarvan premiere Moe Dunford commented "I'm very proud of this film, and hugely proud of my hometown Dungarvan. ‘Patrick’s Day’ is a film about having the courage to make a better future, and like many towns in Ireland, Dungarvan has gone through its own hell yet has had the courage to fight for that future. And I want everyone to feel part of this, because they are."

John Donovan, on behalf of Dungarvan No Name Club, an organization dealing daily with young people added “we are delighted to be part of his homecoming as star of ‘Patrick’s Day’…. Moe was a supremely talented and popular member of our organization and was a very significant part of our national success.”

In the film, Moe plays Patrick, a 26 year old virgin schizophrenic. He falls in love with an alcoholic, suicidal air-hostess, and the relationship they share transforms both of their lives. However, Patrick’s obsessive mother believes their misguided love is dangerous and so to pull them apart, enlists the help of a dysfunctional detective who will use his position to help her.

Since premiering at SXSW in March, ‘Patrick’s Day’ has won a host of awards including the Audience Awards at the Galway Film Fleadh and Cork Film Festival, The Maverick Award for Best Narrative Feature, Best Cinematography, and Best Editing at the Woodstock Film Festival, the Screen Directors’ Guild of Ireland Finders Series Award, and Best Actor and Best Screenplay at the Hell’s Half Mile Film and Music Festival in Michigan.

Wildcard Distribution will release ‘Patrick’s Day’ in cinemas across Ireland on Friday, 6th February. See the trailer below:
