BRENDAN GLEESON FILMS IN OFFALY
Award-winning actor Brendan Gleeson was in Offaly during the recent cold snap to star in the short comedy ‘Noreen’. Filmed on location in and around Shannonbridge, the cast and crew didn’t let the adverse weather conditions get the better of them.
The film is directed by Brendan’s son Domhnall who is the recipient of the 2009 Film Offaly bursary. Domhnall and his team fought off fierce competition to scoop the €8,000 prize money. The film will premiere exclusively later this Spring in the Tullamore Omniplex. Further details from www.elzorrerofilms.ie
