Principal Photography has begun on Emu Productions fantasy drama ‘The Shadows’. The feature began filming last week and will continue until September 5th.
’The Shadows’ will film around Dublin and Meath, with the production based in Navan. Written and directed by Colin Downey, ‘The Shadows’ is inspired by George MacDonald’s fairytale of the same name. It tells the story of a nine year old boy, Matthew, who finds a key to a magical world at the bottom of his grandmother’s garden and is produced by Eimear O’Kane (Pentecost) of Emu Productions.
New cast confirmed in the feature are Eddie Weber (The Business), Sam Homan (Ros na Run), Irene Wright (Sugar Stick) and Gráinne McHale. They join the earlier confirmed stars Michael Parle (Our Wonderful Home), Emma Eliza Regan (The Fading Light), Natalie Kostrzewa (The Looking Glass) and Lorcan Melia (Camelot). Rising Irish actress Emma Eliza Regan can soon be seen in Ian Fitzgibbon’s ‘Death of A Superhero’, which will have it’s world premiere at the Toronto Film Festival this September.
The micro-budget received from the Irish Film Board for the project is €100,000. It is being shot on RED One and will be delivered in early 2012.
