After less than a year in production, independent Irish film ‘Twice Shy’is near completion and is expected to wrap before Christmas 2015.
‘Twice Shy’ is described as a modern coming of age drama, that centres around a young couple who set off on a road trip from Ireland to London. The young, unmarried couple is played by Shane Murray Corcoran (King Arthur, Angelas Ashes) and Iseult Casey, who makes her debut on the big screen.
They take the trip as the result of an unplanned pregnancy and have some life changing decisions to make. The film portrays their journey, through the ups and downs of their relationship, and features support from Ardal O’ Hanlon (After Hours, Fr. Ted), Pat Shortt (The Guard, Garage), Mary Conroy (Ros na Run) and Paul Ronan (Love/Hate).
Director Tom Ryan and Producer Fionn Greger first discussed the project in December 2014 and four months later they had finished the script and secured funding. Filming then took place over the summer in Ireland and London.
The film is expected to be completed this Christmas, with the aim that it would be launched at a film festival in the spring, followed by a general release in cinemas and later online. The film makers are also prepping several new pitches for film projects, which will be ready in early 2016.
