The micro-budget Irish feature film which sees young couple Shane Murray-Corcoran (Stitches) and Iseult Casey (The Middle Finger) faced with a road trip to the UK in order to get an abortion.
Ardal O’Hanlon (Handsome Devil) and Pat Shortt (Smalltown) also star in supporting roles in the film, which will now be represented by 7&7 Producers’ Sales Service at the Marché du Film in Cannes this month.
Ryan recently picked up the award for Best Young Director at Irish Film Festival Australia for his work on ‘Twice Shy’. It is produced by Fionn Gregor and will be distributed in Ireland later this year by Wildcard Distribution.
Maura Ford, Managing Director, 7&7:
“We are excited to introduce Twice Shy at this year’s Marché and give the film the international exposure it deserves. Its subtle and engaging take on a very topical issue will resonate with the market especially in territories where the subject of abortion is still a hot topic for debate.”
