Declan Cassidy (Whatever Turns You On) is currently in development with ‘Do Not Pass Go’, a new feature from the pen of Irish writer Rodney Lee (Moore Street Masala). The comedy/drama is expected to start shooting in the late autumn of this year.

Timesnap’s latest feature, ‘Do Not Pass Go’ is an offbeat comedy/drama set in the concrete wasteland of an Irish industrial estate. It centres around a malcontent photocopy worker who falls in love with an Indian advertising executive across a backdrop of society's outsiders.

The film will shoot late this autumn in Dublin, Louth and Meath and is to be lensed by Shane Tobin (Véronique). The film’s cast members are TBC.

Director Declan Cassidy tells IFTN he has been bidding his time in making his feature film debut,"I've been waiting for the right feature project to come along,” he says, “and when 'Do Not Pass Go' landed on my desk I knew I'd found it. Rodney is a superb writing talent and I can't wait to bring the quirky characters he's created to the screen. Putting funding behind a film in these recessionary times is a challenge but this is a drama driven movie which we feel we can make on quite a modest budget. I'm confident that we can pull it together quite quickly."

Declan’s previous project, the short film ‘Whatever Turns You On’ was recently signed for commercial representation in France and Switzerland. Paris-based production outfit Pixie have contracted Declan after his multi-award winning Irish Film Board short sold to France 3 TV recently. The director will travel to Zurich in mid-June to shoot a series of four TV commercials for a client.
