Cameras Roll on Set of 'My Brothers' | The Irish Film & Television Network

Production is underway on the new Irish feature film ‘My Brothers’, directed by Paul Fraser (Scummy Man) and written by William Collins (Escape of the Wild Thing). Set over the Halloween weekend of 1987, the film explores three young brothers' quest to replace their dying father's beloved watch in an off-beat and moving journey that ultimately leads them home.

Starring newcomers Timmy Creed, Paul Courtney and TJ Griffin as well as a supporting cast including Kate Ashfield (Shaun of the Dead), Don Wycherley (Rásaí na Gaillimhe), Sarah Green (Shelter) and Eamonn Hunt (W.C.), ’My Brothers’ is produced by Rebecca O'Flanagan (The Eclipse, The Running Mate) and Rob Walpole (Man About Dog) through Rubicon Films.

Other crew members include PJ Dillon (32A, Kings) as director of photography, production designer Mark Geraghty (In America) and editor Emer Reynolds (The Eclipse). With the first week of filming already complete, the Cork shoot will wrap principal photography before Christmas 2009.

Producer Rebecca O'Flanagan tells IFTN: "We are very excited to have begun production on this project. It is a very special and moving script and the young actors are bringing great life and humour to the characters. And we are delighted to be back in filming Cork where we had such a great experience doing "The Eclipse".

‘My Brothers’ has been funded by the Irish Film Board, Windmill Lane and RTÉ
