Element Pictures Distribution will release Lisa Mulcahy’s fantasy adventure feature ‘The Legend of Longwood’ to Irish cinemas on October 23rd.
Produced by Michael Garland for Grand Pictures, the €5m feature film centres on a 12-year-old girl called Mickey Miller who has to move from New York to Longwood, a windswept Irish town.
