Movie 'Our House' starring north coast Blue Lights actor Hannah to open this year's Galway Film Fleadh
New filmmaking talent will take centre stage at this year’s Galway Film Fleadh, with Our House, starring north coast Blue Lights actor Hannah McClean, opening the festival on Tuesday, July 7.
The Galway Film Fleadh is widely regarded as one of Ireland’s most important film festivals, providing a vital platform for new and emerging voices in Irish and international cinema.
Northern Ireland Screen said it is delighted that the Fleadh will open with Our House, placing a Northern Ireland project at the heart of one of the festival’s most high-profile moments.
Our House stars Michael Shea (Blue Lights) and Andy Doherty (A Bump Along the Way) alongside Ballymoney-born Hannah as three estranged siblings who reunite at the family home for their late mother’s wake, prompting an inheritance battle that turns deadly.
Peter Young, Writer and Director, said: “Callum and I began developing Our House three years ago and we’re so proud of what it’s become. We were blessed to have a cast and crew comprised of the best emerging talent the North has to offer.
"Thank you to the Fleadh for this prestigious screening, and to Village Films and Northern Ireland Screen for all their support.”
The film is produced by Callum Harrison, who also has a number of short films under his belt. Callum is returning to the Fleadh after his short Homebird won Best Debut Short Fiction at the festival in 2022.
North coast actor Hannah McClean, a former pupil of Dominican College in Portstewart, has also appeared in Grace, The Running Man, Malpractice and The Awakening.
