The period drama forms part of a curated selection of movies launched on the company’s theatre-on-demand platform. Speaking on behalf of the production co-director Garret Daly said ’It’s really great that audiences in America will now have a chance to see the film. There’s a huge Irish American community and a platform like Flix Premiere is a perfect collaboration to reach that audience.’

Following its premiere at the Galway Film Fleadh the film went on to receive a Best Actress IFTA nomination for Tara Breathnach, Best Film at the Sky Road Film Festival, Best Feature at the Underground Film Festival in Dublin, a Best Drama Score the Reel Music Awards and an Outstanding Achievement in Filmmaking from the Newport Beach Film Festival.
