Element Pictures Distribution has announced that ‘Glassland’ will be made available on DVD and on demand from July 31.
Gerard Barrett’s acclaimed follow-up to ‘Pilgrim Hill’ premiered at the Galway Film Fleadh last year and jointly won the Best Irish Feature award (along with ‘Patrick’s Day’).
Starring Jack Reynor, Will Poulter and Toni Collette, the film tells the story of a young taxi driver who gets pulled into crime as he attempts to save his mother from alcoholism.
Jack Reynor won a Special Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival for his acclaimed performance. The film was released to cinemas in the UK and Ireland earlier this year – and received very positive reviews with Indiewire labelling it as a “directorial triumph”, The Irish Times calling it “superb” and The Guardian heralding it as “deeply moving”.
The film was nominated at this year’s IFTA Film & Drama Awards in the categories of Best Film, Best Director (Gerard Barrett), Best Script (also Gerard Barrett), Best Actor (Jack Reynor), Best Costume Design (Leonie Prendergast) and Best Cinematography (Piers McGrail).
Barrett is currently filming ‘Brain On Fire’ in Vancouver. The filmmaker adapted the screenplay and is also directing and co-producing.
'Glassland' is produced by Blank Page Productions.
