Ahead of the films theatrical release across Ireland on September 17th, Break Out Pictures have revealed a new trailer for the Rachel Moriarty and Peter Murphy’s heartwarming film, Róise & Frank.
Róise & Frank has been a hit on the festival circuit in recent months winning numerous awards including Best Ensemble at Dublin International Film Festival, Best Film, Director, and Actress at the Stockholm Film Festival and scooping the Audience Award winner at both the Santa Barbara and Sonoma International Film Festival.
The film tells the story of the recently widowed Róise (Bríd Ní Neachtain), who in a small Irish seaside town is struggling in the aftermath of her husband Frank’s passing. Grief-stricken and lonely, Róise has distanced herself from the world around her and those dearest to her. However, when a stray dog starts to follow her every move, a rejuvenated Róise starts to believe in the reincarnation of her husband and the power of enduring life in its next, hopeful steps.
Róise & Frank is an up-lifting tale of shaggy dogs, a grieving widow, and finding hope in the darkest of places that has been winning audience’s hearts everywhere it goes.
Róise & Frank is written and directed by Rachael Moriarty and Peter Murphy and produced by Cúán Mac Conghail of Macalla Teoranta. The film was funded by Screen Ireland, TG4 and the BAI as part of the Cine4 scheme.
Róise & Frank releases in Irish cinemas nationwide on September 17th.
