BALLYWALTER

North American Premiere. Q&A with director Prasanna Puwanarajah, screenwriter Stacey Gregg and actor Patrick Kielty

The feature directorial debut of actor Prasanna Puwanarajah (recently seen as Martin Bashir in THE CROWN), BALLYWALTER is a life-affirming dramedy about the unexpected connections that can change the course of our lives. Eileen (Seána Kerslake, BAD SISTERS, A DATE FOR MAD MARY) is a caustic, unrepentant university dropout whose dreams of a successful life in London have fallen by the wayside. Back at home with her mom, she makes ends meet by working as an unlicensed driver in her ex-boyfriend's minicab. Shane (stand-up comedian Patrick Kielty, MY DAD, THE PEACE DEAL AND ME) has exiled himself to Ballywalter following the break-up of his marriage, but he's trying to get his life back on track by enrolling in a stand-up comedy course. When Shane calls a taxi to get him to his classes, Eileen answers and a surprising connection is made. As the two spend time together shuttling back and forth, a beautiful friendship develops, leading both to a moment of realization. Note adapted from Bankside Films.)
