It is produced by Richard Bolger of Five Knight Films and is also set to release to Irish cinemas in the coming months, distributed by Wildcard Distribution.

Mark O’Connor Director:
“Manchester is a brilliant film festival and city and it's very exciting to be having our UK premiere there. We are looking forward to seeing how UK audiences take to the film.”
