‘WC’ Gets Digital Release | The Irish Film & Television Network

‘WC’ is a quirky drama set in and around the toilets of a Dublin Jazz bar. It follows a day in the life of two toilet attendants, Jack (Liam O Mochain – The Book That Wrote Itself), an Irish guy who has recently been released from prison and Katya (Julia Wakeham - The Tudors), a Russian girl form an unlikely friendship with one another in the last place one would expect – the toilets.

Speaking ahead of the release O Mochain says: ‘We are delighted to be the first Irish film to go exclusively digital, which is the future of cinema technology with increased distribution opportunities and screening quality. We are thankful to Real Image in India for making the digital print available, to Digital Cinema Ltd and to Movies@Dundrum, SGC Dungarvan and the Eye Cinema Galway for working with us on the Irish cinema release.”

The filmmakers have also signed a deal with Cinetic Media of New York to bring ‘WC’ onto digital platforms worldwide and the film has also been selected to screen at the upcoming Las Vegas International Film Festival April 9-13th 2009.

O Mochain continues: “We are delighted to have our US Premiere at the Las Vegas International Film Festival, as the festival has a particular emphasis on independent cinema and it is particularly apt given the main character’s former gambling habits”.

Cast to work on the film include Adam Goodwin (My Boy Jack), Karl Shiels (Eden), Mary Murray (The Magdalene Sisters) and Eamonn Hunt (The Running Mate). Working behind the scenes on were; DOP Mark Waldron, Costume Designer; Allison Byrne, Editor Stephen Doran and Composer Richie Buckley.
