Virgin Media have partnered with Element Pictures Distribution to feature the much anticipated documentary from Colm Quinn, which screened at leading festivals Hot Docs and Sheffield Doc/Fest to acclaim this year.
The film follows businessman Michael Flynn, who reinvents himself under eccentric persona ‘Mattress Mick’ under the guidance of good friend Paul Kelly in order to save his failing business.
‘Matress Men’ is edited by John Murphy and produced by David Clarke, Ciaran Deeney and Colm Quinn, with funding from the Irish Film Board.
Tony Hanway, CEO of Virgin Media:
“Virgin Media is delighted to support one of Ireland’s leading Independent film company, Element Pictures Distribution, and offer viewers the opportunity to watch MATTRESS MEN On Demand at the same time it is released in Cinemas across Ireland. This is another exciting offering from Virgin Media’s on demand service, which already boasts hundreds of hours of movies and TV shows across multiple platforms including Horizon TV and Horizon Go.”
Andrew Lowe, MD Element Pictures:
“This partnership with Virgin Media ensures that the brilliant MATTRESS MEN will be seen by as wide an audience as possible and gives Virgins’ customers the choice as to where and when they watch the film. We are really pleased to be working with Virgin in this innovative way and look forward to many more Day and Date releases* with them in the future.”
The Irish title is also in cinemas and on demand from Volta from Friday, October 7th.
