Period feature ‘A Nightingale Falling’ - from Offaly-based Mixed Bag Media - has released its first teaser trailer online.
Based on the novel by P.J. Curtis, ‘A Nightingale Falling’ tells the story of two sisters who care for a wounded soldier during the War of Independence, and the tragedy that transpires as a result. The low-budget feature wrapped in July after filming in various locations around Co. Offaly.
Directed by Garret Daly and produced by Martina McGlynn of Mixed Bag Media, the film stars Tara Breathnach (‘The Last Days of Anne Boleyn’, ‘The Tudors’), Muireann Bird (‘Rough Diamond’, ‘Jack Taylor: The Magdalen Martyrs’) and Gerard McCarthy (BBC’s ‘The Fall’) in the principal roles, with period costume design from Meritta Gorman-Geoghegan.
‘A Nightingale Falling’ marks Mixed Bag Media’s first feature, having previously produced documentaries ‘A Grand Experience’ (2012) and ‘Who is Dervla Murphy’ (2010) as well as short film ‘The Road of Souls’ (2011) as well as television series ‘The Rental Boys’ for RTE’s Storyland competition in 2009.
